Re: Weight Loss

thats your opinion and i respect that but according to the packaging it is

Re: Weight Loss

Well, the package in the US is the least reliable thing.

And it's not my "opinion" ... it's hard data from the USDA.

That being said, you should move to OWL.

Re: Weight Loss

But im in the uk - so why would i go to the usda to try to find what pepper it is then deduct the fibre from it when its already worked out for me.

<<why would i go to the usda to try to find what pepper it is then deduct the fibre from it when its already worked out for me.<<

Because there's too much of a discrepancy between what you posted the net carb count is and what a trusted source says.

How many grams of green pepper did you have?

>>could anyone suggest why no weight loss has happened>>

Could be because you're undereating.

Could be because your body is taking a break.

Could be because you've overstayed your welcome on Induction and you should move to OWL.

Re: Weight Loss

sorry your correct should have said 50 g pepper my mistake

You don't lose all your weight in Induction!

The phase is called "Ongoing Weight Loss" for a reason, it's where you lose your weight.

Re: Weight Loss

i know that but if im not losing on induction when ketosis is at its peak what chance have i on owl - are you not suppose to move on when you have say eg - 1 - 2 stone left

Don't be relying so much on "ketosis at it's peak". You'll still be in ketosis on OWL.

I believe your body has gotten all it can out of Induction. People who stay on Induction too long very often end up failing ... because they can't believe that adding more food and net carbs is what their body needs and wants.

There's lots of topics here recently by people who were afraid to move to OWL, and when they did, their weigh loss resumed.

You can stay on Induction if you want. I suspect you'll get the same results you're getting right now.

Do you really think that an extra 5 net carbs of Induction vegetables is going to ruin your weight loss?

How will you get to Maintenance if you don't do OWL?

>>are you not suppose to move on when you have say eg - 1 - 2 stone left>>

Absolutely not.

Re: Weight Loss

thanks atkinsgal - think ill stay on induction for another week just incase i have temp stalled although atkins does mention in the book about being metobolically resistant - i didnt lose that much on the first two weeks of induction

Do you expect different results in this week?

Why are you afraid of another 5 net carbs of Induction vegetables?

[Janus]

Re: Weight Loss

im not afraid of anything - but atkins himself said its very strange for someone on induction not to lose weight hes the doctor not me and i could have very well stalled and i dont think even he would suggest moving on if that were the case

[atkinsgal08]

Re: Weight Loss

>>atkins himself said its very strange for someone on induction not to lose weight>>

You did lose weight on Induction.

You've stopped losing ... which is a very good indication that it's time to move to OWL.

Why not give OWL 1 a try for two weeks, see what happens.

Prove me wrong.

Re: Weight Loss

thanks for the info on the no tuna muffin that no in the name made me think it was some fake fish food.
In DANDR when Dr Atkins says it is unusual to not lose on 14 day induction eating he is talking about folk who were not on any weight loss diet before they started his plan. Not folk doing extended induction.

take your measurements cause you will see body fat being shed even when your sclaes don't validate the work you are doing. The human body resists collapsing inward upon itself by adding fluid molecules to the places fat molecules are being removed from. This will cause a stoppage in scale weight loss but not tape measure losses because the fluids are denser molecules then the fluffy body fat molecules so they may weight the same but they are smaller in size.

At some point you will exceed the biochem interferrence your body will tolerate for that added fluid and generate a chemical that will flush the fluids from your bdoy and overnight you will see a scale weight loss out of proportion to what you were doing the day before. Atkinseers call that a visit from WHOOSHIE. then the cycle repleats you lose inches but not scale weight, a sudden scale weight loss and then again no scale but inches all the way to goal weight. that is why Dr Atkins defined a stall as 4 weeks of no scale weight loss NOR inches lost.

Hang in there.

Use the free online fitday.com site and you can plug your vits and supplements in too as custom foods see if you are getting enough. being low in something like calcium can slam your weight loss to a stop until it is corrected.

DId you see your doc before you started for the Dr Atkins recommneded blood work to be sure you don't have any medical reasons you are not losing.

Re: Weight Loss

The original poster did lose on Induction though.

Re: Weight Loss

Thanks - 2big that makes sense because i do actually feel like clothes are fitting better although the scales havent moved - i didnt see the doctor although i have had my thyroid tested and all is good - sorry for the confusion with muffin when i said
1 no tuna muffin i was refering to (no) as 1 number muffin will have to learn to type properly - thanks for your help
