Celia, just a few things here that I have picked up from others and from

personal experience. Some of us seem to be slow losers. I have

determined to weigh myself once a month. OK I know Atkins talks about

adding 5 carbs a week and weighing yourself but I know with as slow as I

am losing I am better limiting to about 25 carbs. Someone one one of

these lists has lost 50 lb. she lost NOTHING for the first three months,

but stuck with it because she saw her clothes getting loser. There

seems to be this thing about Atkins that you lose differently than on

most diets. Another thing, watch for hidden carbs. I had no idea there

were so many out there. If a product has less than 1 carb per serving

they can label it as zero on the label but that is not accurate. The

first week I didn't know that and treated heavy whipping cream as a free

food. There are 6.6 carbs in 1 c of cream. Eggs have carbs. Did not

know that in the beginning either. Count your carbs carefully. Watch

your keto stix and your clothes. Take your measurements. You might see

them go down before the scales. I have.
