          i have been on atkins since june'04,i had been in a 7month stall but i was patient i tried everything ,went back to induction (no loss)went down to 5 carbs daily and cut out all dairy,coffee etc. no results,finally i started doing different fasts (found how on google searches) and would lose a few pounds but stall was stubborn but this will be a way of life for me i did not cheat,finally i read (google search) that some people reach their goal doing low carb and most people stop losing far from their goal that was me i still had 100 lbs to go the article said these people had to start counting calories and fat as well as carbs,i really resisted i did not want to count fat or calories,but i slowly started to do this and i am losing weight again with 67 more pounds to lose now it will probably take me another year/6mts. but i am determined.i envy the people reaching their goal doing straight atkins,i just my plan takes me to my goal. hope my statements are acceptable in this forum

              Not sure if I read the post right but on Atkins you have to count calories also. The point is that if you control your calories and keep them in a fat and protien context, then you should lose weight at an accelerated rate and improve your overall health.

                What is the correct percentage. Fat vs protein (I know about the carbs) ?

                  I think it's 60% fat, but I'm not sure of the ratio for the protein and carbs... I too am stalling right now. But it's only week 3 for me and from what I hear, it's fairly normal to stall for a little in the beginnnig... I hope!!

                    This is my first day...so i'm in 14-day induction. I am excited. I have been searching this bulletin board for months, now I think i'll give low carb a try. Everyone's success is awsome! I can't wait to share mine.

                      I moved to OWL and gained pounds. So I'm monitoring my intake a little more closely.

                          My official phase is PreMaintenance, but my tastes are still Extended Induction. I know what you mean ex-barbie-doll. Just keep at it, those 12 pounds will realize they aren't needed soon enough.
