Re: Metabolicaly resistant
Yep, tracking what you are eating is important especially at the beginning of your Atkins. Also when you move to OWL, you may want to keep a proper food diary where you record your reaction to the different foods you'll be adding back.
It's difficult to give you a menu with quantities and foods, because what satisfies my hunger might not satisfy yours and what I like you might not. But here's the Induction part of what I usually eat. Breakfast is often quiche; I like making it with mushrooms and peppers, but you can use whatever veggies you like and also meat. If I don't have quiche, I'll have boiled eggs, cheese, omelets, avocado, meat left from dinner... This morning I had half a pepper stuffed with tuna salad and heated in the microwave until the pepper became quite soft. For lunch I typically have some meat (it can be grilled, roasted, baked, etc.) and a side of cooked veggies or a salad with some dressing or olive oil & vinegar/lemon/spices. Dinner is often meat with a side of salad/veggies or soup or omelets. Tonight for example I'll have baked zucchini topped with bacon and cheese and yesterday I had a crab avocado salad.
Start taking a multivitamin --- having vitamin/mineral deficiencies can cause your weight loss to slow down or stall.
Walking is a great exercise. Exercise for at least 30 minutes 5x a week, as Dr. Atkins recommended in DANDR. See how far you can walk in these 30 minutes and then work to increase the distance/speed. Add some strength training too; you can alternate between days of walking and days of weights.
