Not eating enough?

The past couple of days I have been averaging at around 10 carbs a day. Is this bad at all? I'm at about day four of continuously following Atkins.

Re: Not eating enough?

Yes you are eating too little some days. Now some times when we go into ketosis appetite may go down but you should try to get your calories over 1200 everyday. Starving is counter productive on Atkins. (and anytime you try to diet actually) What also worried me a bit about your menu was that you did get so few carbs from veggies. Most of your daily carbs should come from veggies so you have to work on that part. Remember to drink all your water everyday.

More Veggies! I can certainly do that. I think maybe I had it so stuck in my head that I was going to have to eat more meat (I had been practically a vegetarian) that I have been skimping on my vegetables.
I definitely am not trying to starve, but I know that not eating enough can slow metabolism. I will be working on that! I think I need to eat more often: hard as a massage therapist, but I will find a way!
I do drink my water! I just don't bother to log it, it's too much of a hassle. I am certain I drink a minimum of a gallon a day.
Thanks for the advice ladies! :]
