>>I have no idea what you mean by the day of the end of the week ends in "y">>

Well ... everyday of the week ends in a "y".

Sometimes there is no "reason" for why we bloat.

So I came up with the idea that it happens because the day of the week ends in a "y".

It's humor!

Re: Gaining?

>> Net carbs...not really sure.
On fit day its saying 18g I know I'm suposed to be in the 25g mark now...so how do I up my veggies if Im rarely even hungry these days?>>

Why don't you know?

You need to count up the total carbs of your vegetables, then subtract the total fiber from those same vegetables ... then you'll know the net carbs of your vegetables.

>> 1lb Jimmy Dean Regular Pork Sausage>>

This has sugar in it.

I would use a brand that doesn't ... such as Bob Evans or Jones or ...

Humor ok! Thanks for the laugh! I figured as much!
New foods this week, I had some spinach, tried some water chestnuts, and also scheshwan spice sauce! (0 carb) Also I was trying pork rinds for crunchy snacks...didn't like them...but maybe all these I should cut for now.

>>Maybe I should just go back to inducion for a week and than try to learn and understand how to add these OWL standards in.>>

A better solution would be to keep moving forward and learn and understand.

Going backwards doesn't generally make your Atkins journey any easier.

Good to know! I am going to start this tomorrow for sure!

Re: Gaining?

>>scheshwan spice sauce! (0 carb)>>

I doubt it's really 0 carbs. What's the list of ingredients.

Also ... you should only add one new food at a time ... it makes it easier to eliminate a suspected culprit.

Now you have to cut out "spinach, tried some water chestnuts, and also scheshwan spice sauce! (0 carb) Also I was trying pork rinds".

Re: Gaining?

Days ending with Y - those are the worst

I think you are doing good. We all have those days for reasons - who knows. Just keep going it will even out.
Just watch serving size - when something says two carbs - how big is the serving they are listing.

ut oh could be the dreaded carb creep if you are not measuring your veggies.

just keep taking notes about how you feel before during and after you eat and see if it is a food causing your bloat or a new supplement or even a virus going round.

My sister discovered she was allergic to spinach cause every wednesday where she worked served a fresh spinach salad and she was having that yummy salad with pecans chicken and cranberries with somekind of vinegar dressing. and every wednesday night and thursday morning she was feeling bloated and nausous. she went on s business trip missed the sald for 2 weeks and had an ah ha moment so she tested spinach by itself and sure enough she was feeling bad again.

Re: Gaining?

Alright! So i introduced a couple of new foods in just 3 days. I will cut them and move foward with fresh foods and once per week ad a new one. And yes back to measuring veggies!
