  • help please

    I have been working out 5 times per week for the past 2 months and although i have lost 25 inches, i have only lost 10 lbs. Someone suggested it may be my menu - would someone please take a look? Thanks. I just started the berry rung and have had strawberries and cream the last 2 days.


    I usually eat 2 eggs for breakfast - sometimes I add some red pepper or ham, and 1 -2 cups decaf with cream - occasionally I eat a flax muffin with butter, splenda and cinnamon

    lunch is some protein - usually leftovers or canned salmon in a salad (romaine, peppers, tomatoes, cuke, olives, feta) with low carb dressing

    dinner - protein (steak/ salmon/chicken thighs, breasts or wings) and/or ceasar salad and veggies (broccoli, green beans, peppers, mushrooms, celery...) I eat almost all veggies raw

    snacks will be either a boiled egg, cheese, deli meat or celery with sugar free peanut butter

    I drink way more than 8 glasses water

    I pretty much eat this every day but I have been eating pumpkin and cream cheese the last few days as a treat (not on the days I had strawberries) - I also sometimes (once or twice a week) eat a popsicle made from crystal light

    I became bored with fitday, so am not sure of my carb count but this is pretty much the menu I ate when I was losing last time - maybe I should go back to fitday to be sure

    thanks for any feedback!

    It is looking pretty good to me. I think that you are losing just fine. Perhaps you are a bit impatient but well we tend to be
    I suggest running things through fitday for a few days to see if some bad habits have snuck in or you have allowed a carb creep. With your workout you should be eating calories enough to cover what you do.

    You will get there.

      I agree - you are doing excellently!

      Losing inches is more important than losing pounds I feel - as they are a proof of you losing FAT!!!

      Many Atkineers find they end up in smaller clothes sizes even if they are at a higher weight than the last time they wore those sizes!!
      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!
