  • Did I screw this up?

    Well, as I mentioned in my intro. I started a half *** attempt at Atkins before I ever read the book and I was on it for like a month. Then I started the Induction phase. I started it at 300.5 lbs, That was 9 days ago. I know you shouldn't look at the scales till the end. But here's what I've seen. I went as low as 294lbs, but I seem to fluctuate between 296 and 300lbs. What I'm wondering, is it possible that I'm already at a pause point being that the only thing I ate for a month prior was meat and cheese?

    Here's basicly what I've been eating

    Breakfast:
    4 eggs scrambled with cheese and onion (sometimes with bacon or Sausage)

    Lunch:
    2 hamburgers (box says 0 carbs and there are no bread fillers) couple slices of chedar cheese and some pork rinds.

    Dinner:
    Salad made with Lettus, cheese, canned chicken breast, and 1 serving of ranch dressing. And a steak or piece of chicken grilled.

    Been drinking only water for the past week now.

    This all adds up to around 15 Carbs or less.

    Quite possibly, Si - but if so it means you will come out of the 'pause' that much quicker I am sure!
    You might try 'tweaking' your menu by eating other veggies from plain old 'chewy water' lettuce though to get more vitamins etc into your meals!
    And spread your 3 cups throughout the day if you can too - maybe some mushrooms or red peppers with your breakfast, salad for lunch and something like brocolli for dinner?
    You are sticking within the 3-4 ounces of cheese I assume?
    Congratulations on the water too!!
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

      Si,

      I don't have any studies to back me up,

      only my experience, and the experience of others,

      but cheese is a big weight loss staller.

      It's also the hardest thing to give up dairy.

      Don't give it up, but severly restict it, and see how you go!
