Re: have gained 6kg!! please help been 2 years on atkins

for an induction menu that was pretty good.
It is a bit heavy on"other carbs" though. When you deduct the fibre the amount of carbs coming from veggies is low.
The two servings of splenda - were they from a big bag or a small portion size?
Hope you had plenty of water and your vit pill.

>> Im drinking 2 litres of water a day.>>

Not really enough, I think.

Aiming for 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water works well for many. So that would be closer to 100 ounces.

Re: have gained 6kg!! please help been 2 years on atkins

ill up my water more then.. and see what happens there.. apart from that i am taking a multi vit tablet which is lower in iron because of the amount i am already consuming.

I will try have less of the other carbs and more of pure vegetables.... the splenda i had was small teaspoon.

i have filled in todays menu for fitday let me know if anyone see's anything terribly wrong?

also a quick question, does decaff tea and coffee really count as carbs? didnt see it in the DANDR book.. also seems i am getting carbs for squid,shrimp and mussels? this right

Re: have gained 6kg!! please help been 2 years on atkins

Yes those all have carbs. Fitday is pretty accurate if you do the right entry and enter raw items.
So how much splenda is 3 servings? You use granulated splenda?
What is 3 slices of cheese? Did you weight it?

It looks like most of your carbs are still from non veggie sources. But it is looking pretty good. How are you feeling?

Re: have gained 6kg!! please help been 2 years on atkins

even with the vit you can be deficient so check the fitday reports section and be sure. you can input your vit as a custom food and eat one each day so the fitday nutrtional report shows you what even with the pill you are missing.

That's great! I would also suggest reading the "stickies" at the top of the OWL forum, in addition to the book. They really do help explain the process. Here is the link:
Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) - Atkins Diet

congrats on shedding some biody fat working your Atkins.

OWL is a fun time but be sure you take careful notes on how you feel before and after you eat the new foods so you can figure out which one is the problem when you do have one.

Happy OWLing.

Re: have gained 6kg!! please help been 2 years on atkins

you are doing OWL rung one? if so your choices look good.

Are you hungry each bite you swallow or are you eating just cause it is legal and you got room in your belly?

Re: have gained 6kg!! please help been 2 years on atkins

2big4mysize: im on induction im doing a clean induction for 2 weeks, im on day 4 so far..

Funnily enough i am quite hungry which is so weird because before i would be fine with 2 meals now im hungry every few hours.. im trying to satisfy that with smaller meals and so far so good..

Re: have gained 6kg!! please help been 2 years on atkins

Can you explain again what "powdered Splenda" is ... whether it's the packet or the granular?

And what you mean by "serving".

On 1/31 and 1/30 you didn't have enough net carbs, imho.

[2big4mysize]

Re: have gained 6kg!! please help been 2 years on atkins

try drinking a glass of water and waiting to see if you really are hungry or judst thirsty. the controls are sideby side in the brain so some signal spillover occurs. if you were thirsty the "hunger will be gone in 20 mins after you drink. if it was true hunger you will still be hungry 20 mins later.

some folk have issues with the natural sugar in mature onions and tomoatoes. You could try removing your onions and uses the green part of a green onion for the flavor and see if that helps.
