Help!..is it metabolic resistance?

[wackyjacqui]

Hi All,

Did atkins last year and finally lolst 18lbs after coming off HRT. Due to other issues I came off diet and didn't put any back on, however I want to lose another 14lbs so I started again 14 days ago....2lbs later!!! What on earth is going on?? I've stuck to induction ridgedly...my hubby is also on diet and seems to be working well for him. Any advice? Should I try fat fast? My hormones are still all over the place since op.

Many thanks for any help.

I think 2 lbs is great if you only have 14 left to lose. I mean, that's almost 15% of the weight you needed to lose and we should keep in mind that our losses are relative to how overweight we are.

You are not a candidate for the Fat Fast. This thread summarizes the Fat Fast info in DANDR and explains who should do the Fat Fast: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...-fat-fast.html

I agree with Georgiana, you are doing well.
Time to move to the main weightloss phase of Atkins and start to discover your CCLL.

Ok Ladies, thank you..I'll keep all that in mind. I must admit I do not find this a difficult diet, in fact I eat more on it that I do off....don't usually take the time...too much to do. So I'll keep at it and hope for the best.
