Re: Was losing at fast rate and now stalled

oh sorry gps (green peppers). I am not eating a global positioning system. lol

I read it as "general practitioner" and was thinking "TMI".




Do you like broccoli? Great veggie, very versatile.

Also cabbage is awesome too!

Re: Was losing at fast rate and now stalled

Sorry to interject, but I have a question. I drink 96+ (3 quarts) of water a day and am already getting up to pee during the night =( I weight 336 so that would be 168 oz of water, well over a gallon a day. LOL seems like I'd get no sleep with the amount I'd have to pee;P

Try drinking more water earlier in the day rather than later, see if that helps.




Thanks Atkinsgal08---

You can't say this too much...
...64 ounces of Water is only the Minimum

I feel like I am carrying around an ocean. I am at 3,000 ml of water. Still have 1,200 more to go! Please tell me I am not going to retain all of this??!?

You won't retain all this.

Thank goodness. I am not sure if you know, but how soon after intaking the proper amount of water should I see some changes?

When they happen.

Everybody's different, that's why she said what she did!



Work the program and you will see results. Just not always on the timeline we want.

And keep in mind that Atkins is not a quick fix. If you make it your way of eating for life, as you should, then it doesn't really matter if you lose 5 lbs today, tomorrow, the next week or three weeks from now.

Re: Was losing at fast rate and now stalled

I am not looking for a quick fix. However, I remember the results I had the first time on Atkins. So If I were to lose the same amount of weight on Atkins as a low calorie diet, that I might as well do a low calorie diet. I am very committed to this eating lifestyle. I was at my partners bosses home on Sat night and they had 3 cheese cannelloni and garlic cheese bread and then triple chocolate pie for dessert. Guess what I had? Caesar Salad sans the croutons and water. So I am more than committed.

Best to forget "then". This is "now".

You have to deal with "now".

>> I am very committed to this eating lifestyle.>>

Not if you're saying "f I were to lose the same amount of weight on Atkins as a low calorie diet, that I might as well do a low calorie diet."

That's the thinking of someone who is still "dieting".

Why not commit to Atkins as a way of eating, and let the weight loss be the pleasant side effect?

Re: Was losing at fast rate and now stalled

Well I have been doing it for 3 weeks now, and they say if you can maintain something for 21 days it becomes a new habit. I already treat it like an eating lifestyle. However, I am only doing it for the weight reduction and balance my blood sugars. I don't think anyone would be like oh I think I will deprive myself of carbohydrates for the sake of nothing.

The important question is how do you want to live your life -- on Atkins or on a low calorie diet?

What about for the sake of health?

And... "deprive"?
