Re: Gaining Weight??

Where are you calculating - I calculated what you posted, reasonably accurately I think, and it came in under 1000 calories.

Hello,

I am on my third week of atkins and I had lost a total of 12.2lbs as of 10/15/07. I took it upon myself to get on the scale this morning and I have gained 2lbs. Is this normal? I have been eating baked porked chop, stemmed cabbage in butter, stemmed broccoli in butter, mixed broccoli and cauliflower in butter(a cup at a time on all vegetables),pork skins,sugar free jello, cheese, and my meats. What am I doing wrong?

I also have a couple of questions:

1. Are we allowed to eat sugar free gum, if so how much?
2. Is it possible to just see inches lost instead of weight loss with Atkins?

Thanks,

Nabyhill

Re: Gaining Weight??

Make sure you are eating enough food. It sounds backwards, but if you don't eat enough your body goes into starvation mode and you won't lose weight.

I recommend that you take your measurements and follow them more than the scale. The scale can go up and down a few pounds throughout the day because it isn't only weighing fat, but everything (water, salt, muscle). You are going to get a better understanding of your progress by measurements.

Sugar free gum affects people differently. I can have a piece in the morning and one in the afternoon without any problem; however, for some people the sugar alcohols cause problems and it stalls their losses.

Finally, I recommend setting up a free account at fitday.com and enter in everything you eat. It's amazing to see what really goes in to our bodies versus what we think has been going in.
