Tom stuff

[SecSandleford]

Well TOM finally showed up! I think my new way of eating caused my system to go a little wacky and i was a couple days late which is way out of the norm for me, but other than that, all's good. I am nearing the end of week three with no weight loss or gain this week. I lost 7 pounds during the first two weeks. Do you think Tom coming up stalled me? I am hoping after a couple days I'll go back to losing again. Also, My basal is 1450, but I've been avg around 1200-1300 and feeling great on that. However last few days i've naturally eaten about 1300-1500 without trying. Maybe either my body needed more cals, and i made up for it without realizing it, or TOM made me want more cals or something. I'm just needing a little encouragement on hearing that if i continue as planned that i'll start losing again soon. Part of me feels bad for having 1500 cals, but logically i know that's crazy too feel bad. I still have a hard time fathoming how many cals some of you can eat and still lose weight. I have read dandr and I do concentrate on carbs first of all, but i still like to keep track of both. I still have 14 lbs to lose and am starting in OWL now. On a fiunny note, I tried asparagus today, and i felt like a kid again, not wanting to eat my veggies. I love veggies even as a arb addict, but asparagus is not for me, now or ever. Thankfully I am obsessed with broccoli. I am avg 20-25 net carbs a day. Can anyone tell me their experience on losing the last 14 pounds? I know it will likely be slower.

You will be suprised how effective your body becomes to making decisons once your glucose is under control. You are no longer running on fake hunger.

Somes days I eat less calories than I should, somedays I eat more calories, it just depends, and as Moochiecat has said before, it all just averages out in the end.

Your body is not a machine. It varys alot. But you can treat atkins like a machine. If you continue the plan as followed. You are guaranteed results. Its as simple as that. It may not be as fast as you would like, but hey, it all goes back to how your body wants to handle things.
