First off, I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Yoni, live in Jerusalem, Israel and follow a strict Kosher diet.
I am a 27 year old Male and single. I am around 5'10' -5'11" (not sure).
I started Atkins about 4 weeks ago. I only weighed myself after week 1 and I weighed about 237 Pounds.
Now for my story. I never really went through much of a withdrawal period. I guess I wasn't really hooked on Carbs as much as I thought. Week 2, I lost about 5 Pounds.
The problem is that since then I have only lost about 4 pounds.
As far as I know, I have been strict, trully consuming very little carbs (well below 20 grams).
My average diet has been:
Breakfast:
3/4 Egg Cheese Omelet (the Cheese was like 0.2 grams of Fat per 100 grams of cheese , I think thats just about nothing)
Sometimes some Iceberg Lettuce with it, but not every day.
I have started to throw in a bowl of Onion soup with Cheese the last couple of days.
Lunch:
Shwarma ( a middle eastern style meat, that spins on a rotating skewer and cooks itself slowly, it is storebought, and the sauces on it are mostly Oils and seasoning (at least I think so)
Again some more Lettuce.
Supper:
I tend to eat 1/2 to 3/4 of a chicken. I don't really season it much, I just put the pieces in a pan, cover it, and cook it for an hour. Not the tastiest thing, but I like it. (I experimented with some Garlic Powder and Pepper tonight)
I will eat 2 or 3 Hard boiled eggs in the evening sometimes.
One thing that I do have is on Friday nights, I have a cop of red wine and a half a piece or so of bread (my mom makes it from the 30/70 kind (30% white, 70%whole wheat).
Again Saturday morning, same thing one cup of wine and a half a piece of bread.
then Saturday night, one last cup of wine.
I do this for Religous reasons, I am going to look into cutting down, if I can, but as of now, I have been doing it. How bad has that been for me?
As you can see, I don't have much of a variety in my diet, but that is one of the things that I like about Atkins, I don't mind eating the same thinng everyday.
Again, my problem is, I am not losing the pounds. I am definately losing inches, as my pants are not quite staying up, and I can see the loss in my face. Other people have also told me that they can see the loss. But where is the weight going if I am not losing it? Is it worth buying the Ketosis strips to see if my body is actually in Ketosis?
That's about it.
I am always open to any interesting recipes. As I am a single guy, without a normal Oven, I only got one of those over-sized Toaster Ovens that I use, the recipes should be pretty simple.
I appreciate any advice or tips you can all offer.
Thanks,
Yoni
