Re: Help - I have not lost any weight

my book was sent to me in 1999 so you are probably right, lol

i have no idea where it is at the moment to verify

meat, you're following the 1972 version of Atkins. We're doing the 2002 version here. The two programs are VERY different.

First, how much cheese are you eating? We are limited to 4 oz per day... one ounce of cheese is about equal to the size of a pair of dice.

We are limited to 3 servings of sweetener per day, so drinking the coffee with splenda and all the sodas will definitely fill your body with tons of sodium, an overkill of sweetener... and while the manufacturer will claim the creamer is zero everything, it's not. It's loaded with sugar. I'd say get rid of the soda and switch to water. Your coffee will be fine as long as you stick to 3 servings of splenda per day. Try the coffee with real cream. It's wonderful!

As to buffalo wings... are you sure the sauce has no carbs? Not all wings are created equally. Many sauces have sugar.

It's great you're getting your salads in there. Be sure you're eating 2 cups salad veggies and 1 cup low carb veggies a day. Eventually you'll up the veggies and start discovering a really healthy way of eating that'll boost all that cardio you're doing.

>>he tiny amount of non dairy creamer hes using surely is not a show-stopper for 0 weight loss.>>

Never said it was.

Only that it's not Atkins friendly ... and it's certainly not "fine".

<<im wrong on the tomatoes but i could have swore he recommended avoiding them if youre having trouble losing weight.<<

In the 2002 DANDR, which is the one followed here, tomatoes are an acceptable Induction vegetable.

Any food can cause a problem ... to "blame" tomatoes does them a disservice.

And ... in the 2002 book, Dr. Atkins recommends diet soda made with Splenda ... so is Fresca made with Splenda?

Either way, I figure his best strategy is to eliminate anything questionable... see if weight loss begins... then slowly add back into the diet things like the diet soda or creamer etc. Soda is a poor substitute for water whether it's made with splenda or not.

>>creamer e>>

Non dairy creamer would never be "allowed" on Atkins ... it's junk.

<<Soda is a poor substitute for water whether it's made with splenda or not.<<

No disagreement ... the fact is DANDR says diet soda with Splenda ... and my question to Meat was whether or not Fresca is made with Splenda.

The issues with what the original poster is eating/drinking have already been pointed out ... we have no way of knowing what he/she has done with the advice.
