First of all.. This site has been a godsend and I am glad to have found it.. I will give you a background on myself before launching into the questions I have
I have been on atkins for many years.. I was on it about 7 years ago and lost about 40 Lbs.. I am 5'7"..went from 260 Lbs to 220 (size 22 to about a size 20 where I stalled and couldnt lose anymore despite all I tried), went off the diet, went through ****, gained all of it back and more (got up to 290 Lbs and a size 26!!)
I decided once and for all to get healthy and start again.. Since then I have lost 70 Lbs and went from 290 to 220, (size 26 to a size 18 ..and.. stalled yet again. at the same weight I stalled the first time..
The first time I stalled I stayed at that weight for 3 months, and was at that time going to a fitness joint every morning, and being very very careful what I ate and I was feeling better but not losing weight or inches.. basically 220 was where my body wanted to be and size 20 was the size it wanted...
So now.. I have reached that point yet again.. this time.. for 4 months!!!! but instead of a size 20 I am a size 18 (though the same weight of 220). I will be restarting induction (though to be honest I never got too far out of induction to begin with).. not going above 10 carbs! and staying damn close to the 65% 30% 5% rule.. only varying by 1 or 2 % and im getting very frustrated!
I have joined a fitness club yet again, and this time will try circuit training.. I walk my Dog and am fairly active at work.. but I cannot seem to get lower then this and it is really frustrating me!
SO! here I am.. needing some help and advice..
My first question, is what else can I try to get below my stall!!!
My other question has to do with the dreaded "low carb candy bar"
One thing I WAS doing during my diet toward the end was trying those Sugar alcohol candies.. Atkins makes them as well as Russel Stover.. I was stalled anyhow and figured that I would try them. I know they make you stall, but do they totally throw the diet off? as in.. do you have to restart the diet with induction once you've had them?? I will no longer eat these, they taste good but all they do is make me crave more and the gas is horrible..
I mentioned above that I am restarting induction.. the reason for this is the candies listed above.. I dont WANT to have to redo induction, so I am on here asking for advice on that as well..
Anyhow.. thank you for your time, hopefully my initial post wasnt too long or too confusing
