Re: i need help

I need to move this out of introduction. Are you still eating induction levels? If so I can move it to extened.

51 lbs is great WOW. It is very normal to have a pause and it is amazing that this is the first pause you are seeing. Just keep being healthy. Eat plenty of veggies, exercise and drink your water.

Re: i need help

You body is just adjusting... it will pick back up. Just make sure you aren't creeping in too many carbs to prevent you from losing. Those sneaky carbs are the worst.

Hi Welcome to our ADBB family!

I have moved this post out of the OWL thread it was in to this extended induction forum so it will hopefully be noticed and responded to

Congratulations on your losses so far
Well done for exercising as you have been too

All of us experience times when our losses seem to hesitate after being speedy, so you are not alone.

If you think some things in your menu could be wong then you can start a new thread in our 'Review my menu' forum so people can look for any possible problems.

Make sure you post quantities and amounts of all the food you eat to help us help you.

Cottage cheese isn't allowed on Induction.

You should have more than a "small" salad.

What version of the book are you reading?

You shouldn't still be on Induction, either.

Re: Not lost any weight lately - any advice?

i have the book dr. atkins new diet revolution revised and updated.copy right 1992

[atkinsgal08]

Re: Not lost any weight lately - any advice?

That's the wrong book ... the one followed here is from 2002.

And there were vegetables in the 1992 book ... why aren't you eating any?

Re: i need help

Maybe increase your water or activity a little? 51 pounds in 7 weeks--WOW! I WISH! I'm guessing your body is adjusting, and as such it might be time to tweak the workout perhaps? After 7 weeks and 51 lbs, I'll bet your body is ready for it.
Congrats and keep up the awesome progress!

Hi,
You seem to be in need of some help. Please read these links once or even twice. They will explain a lot. And yes, you can have green beans. This info is VERY important.

Re: i need help

Yes, please do read the links that Mary (Mission to lose) listed, they will help you soooo much

BTW though you will not see the words 'green beans' on either of the vegetable lists they are allowed because another name for them is 'string or wax beans' which are mentioned on the list of veggies you can have up to one cup of.
