I'm a 64 yr old female who is desperately trying to lose weight.
First of all I can't find Quick Links at the top of the page as the Intro said I would. So I can't do a signature.
I have had low blood sugar since I was about 18. I mostly ignored the symptoms and just ate what I wanted. At that age I was slim and could eat anything and my LBS symptoms weren't that bad. Through the years the symptoms worsened... I also gained weight after having 3 children and hitting 40. I tried the ATkins back in the 80's and lost weight quickly. Of course I didn't stay on it, and now I'm back to suffering with LBS symptoms and overweight again. This time the diet isn't working as well even though I'm stricter on it. Everyone at work admires my willpower.
I start the Atkins seriously on May 1 and I weighted (naked) 223. I'm 5'3" with a muscular built. I am now 213. I don't think I"m doing as well as others on this diet. I have not cheated at all. I have not even baked any of the Atkins desserts like I did years ago, or bought the Atkins candy bars or anything!
Here is my daily meal plan.
Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs w/cheese, with 4 slices of bacon (or 3 pork sausages).
Lunch: 1/2 cup of chicken salad with celery and onion and mayo. 1/2 cup of strawberry's with homemade whipped cream(Splenda).
Supper: Meat of the day with a salad or cauliflower, green beans, brussel sprouts, broccoli, or asparagus.
If I get hungry before bed (we eat an early supper) I mix a little Ricotta with whipped cream and eat it like pudding.
This is all I have eaten since going off the induction which lasted 2 full weeks. On the induction I did not eat strawberries. That's the only thing I added since going off the induction.
I don't get much exercise although I work full time as a secretary, it doesn't give me too much exercise. When I get home, cook supper, clean up... I'm too pooped to exercise. I do a lot of stairs on laundry day.
What am I doing wrong? My hunger is back and my stick doesn't turn purple anymore.
