CCLL or Nuts?

[Danni28]

Hi there everyone!
I have been on Rung 3 now for the last week and a half...i weighed myself today and i have gained a pound and a half.
What i am wondering is;have i reached my CCLL or could it be the nuts.
Where do i go from here. Do i leave the nuts out this week and stick to the 35g carbs from Rung 1-2 or continue with nusts and see what happens?

I have been on Atkins plan last 3 months, this is first time i gained, so doing quite well.

I do have to add...i ate some Corned Beef which i realised had sugar in it, i also thought i would try Bisto Gravy powder which contains starch although i did count.

Any advice will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Danielle

This could have messed up the weigh in, especially if you had them just a few days ago.

What about TOM? Could that also be the reason?

In any case...

It could be both. What nuts did you add?

For 1.5 lbs, I'd drop the nuts and keep the carb level fixed. Nuts are notorious "trouble makers", so you might have an intolerance to whatever nut(s) you've added. Did you also increase your carb count this week? If you did, another approach would be to cut back 5 net carbs... although I believe it's more likely to be nuts that have caused you the gain.

Thanks for the reply Georgina! It was Cashew nuts,i ate 1/2 oz three timesin the week...they are very high in carbs huh.

Yes i didn't have much food in the house so i had the corned beef and Bistoat same time as nuts,also cheese nearly every second day.
I kept my carb count the same.

I dont eat sweetnersor cream,fizzy drinks at all. Do you think i should take out the nuts this week and keep the same carb count. TOM is due in another week and a bit but i never gained so far,just stayed same or lost.

Thanks for your advice!

Re: CCLL or Nuts?

If you had corned beef and Bistro Gravy Powder every other day, that's what probably caused you to gain weight. But to be on the safe side, eliminate cashews this week and try adding them back next week or later.

Re: CCLL or Nuts?

Thanks Georgina! I dont intend to have the Corned Beefor Gravy Powder again....make sure i got food in. I have decided eliminate nuts for a week then see if weight loss i try them again and see.
Thanks
