Re: 1st week in and i gained a lb.???

What vegetables did you eat?

How much water did you drink?

You ate 4 pounds of deli meat in a week?

Why don't you post a menu so we can see everything that you're eatin. We will be better able to help that way.

Re: 1st week in and i gained a lb.???

menu is tough to provide.i only ate at lunch and supper.lunch was cheese sticks with a lb. of honey ham and a lb. of roast beef.no carbs listed on the cheese sticks.i wrapped the meat around the cheese sticks.supper i cooked all beef philly steaks with chedder cheese,next night bacon eggs peppers 6 egg omelete,fried chops and fried fish,no carbs.i thought no carbs would help me reach ketosis quicker.tonight i baked 1.5 lbs. red snapper in butter and lemon pepper and salt.

Re: 1st week in and i gained a lb.???

i have only drank water and coffee.no vegetables.actually only 2.i bought four.and also little cracker barrel sharp cheddar cheese snacks

Re: 1st week in and i gained a lb.???

>>no vegetables.>>

Then you're not doing Atkins.

>>a lb. of honey ham and a lb. of roast beef>>

Honey ham ... not a good choice. Honey = sugar.

Don't you think that 2 pounds of mean for lunch is almost gluttony?

>>i thought no carbs would help me reach ketosis quicker>>

There's more to doing Atkins than that.

>> little cracker barrel sharp cheddar cheese snacks>>

They have more carbs than regular cheddar. Buy regular cheddar.

Buy vegetables.

And make sure you're reading the book. It doesn't seem as if you are!

Sorry, I do not understand what you meant about the vegetable oil---"missed the part about heating the oils" ..What does that mean? What about heating the oils?

Re: 1st week in and i gained a lb.???

Well welcome to start over. Many of us start kind of wrong and have to get to basics.
So basics is: Follow the rules. Do not make any "improvements" The diet as written is really good.
Do not eat sugar - you ate loads of it.
Always read the list of ingredients
Cheese is limited
Drink lots of clean water.
Spread your meals around to avoid gluttony
Eat your vegetables.
Take your supplement
Exercise

Eat breakfast - this means fat, protein and veggies (do not overload with dairy)
Drink water
Eat lunch - not dairy wrapped with sweet processed meats. Real food and vegetables
Drink water
Eat supper with vegetables

And good luck. You can do it.

>>i thought eating all you wanted was the big atkins advantage?>>

You're supposed to eat until satisfied ... not stuffed.

Eating all you want can be overeating ... and can be gorging.

You need to read Chapter 11 ... right now.

>>cukes romaine lettucehead of cauliflower and broccoli>>

And you're going to eat them, right?!

>>i also am drinking one advantage shake a night.>>

Are you hungry?

How much do you weigh?

Re: 1st week in and i gained a lb.???

So it looked like you overate somewhat. It is not unusual to eat a bit more in the beginning than you need. But try to plan more frequent meals.
