Hi, I am soooooooo happy! I finally broke my stall! I've been stuck for months! I even went up from 171 to 175 when I got really addicted to nuts, and started drinking way to much coffee with cream. Talk about lying to yourself! It's so easy to think your doing alright. I never went over 25 carbs a day...but then I was replacing real food with nuts. Maybe it's not really a stall, just self sabotage since I was eating to much of these things. I quit coffee, nuts and cream 4-5 days ago and had an 8 pound whooshie! Yesterday I was 5 pounds lighter, today 8 pounds!!!! I am doing virtual cartwheels! I was re-reading DANDR and read Carb creep? on page 188...and my answer was there. I am also wondering if I have an intolerance to nuts because they contain mold, and I have a mold allergy really bad. He addresses this in chapter 26, starting at page 338. The withdrawal from the nuts were really bad. I finally stopped dreaming about them, and thinking about them every waking minute.
I just started the berry rung this week to. Sadly...I had 1/8 cup of blueberries 3 times this week and each time provoked a more severe sugar craving than the last. Next week I'll try strawberries......so sad, I love blueberries. I got rid of the intense sugar cravings last night by taking 1000 mg of L-Glutamine, it worked. Those old, awful, sugar cravings that came back, disappeared! Found this info (again) on page 308. I had forgotten this trick, but had the vitamins on hand from reading DANDR at the beginning of this WOE.
Dr. Atkins was one smart man! I was starting to get frustrated, and was getting negative thoughts like, "this diet isn't working for me". All I had to do is pick up that book and the answers to my problems were right there in black and white! This diet does work.....we just have to listen to Dr. Atkins and follow his program. I believe we should follow it to the letter. He had a reason for everything he wrote. I will be so much more careful on the rungs. Sadly, I'll be cutting out the nut rung all together....I hope I can handle some of the berries on the berry rung. I'm still heartbroken over the blueberries. :sadblinky
But whooshie fairies ROCK!!!!!! :icondance
