Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 , In the atkins book he says that you have to stay over 1200 calories to keep your body from going into stavation mode, Then it keeps all the fat and you will not lose. Even if your not hungry, eat a sensible breakfast, lunch and dinner and have a couple leagal treats! And don't stay on induction levels forever that can cause a stall too, Hugs Penny---Ohio 173/158/130 Goal for Oct 31st-----155 List Moderator http://members.xoom.com/Shadcat708/LC.html http://www.geocities.com/shadcat708/The__Home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Hey !! I am battling the flu too. Really stinks. Suffered a couple of days with no cough drops and med because of sugar. I finally got some but DR. put me on Codeine with real sugar. Oh well. Guess I will hang out for a while and see what happens now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are supposed to eat a sufficient amount of calories each day based on your weight....(which, I keep forgetting the formula...sorry) But it is at least 1500. And also you need to have your 20 carbs. That is why salad is so important or veggies.... I was stalled...and couldn't break it...and all I was eating was protein and hardly any carbs. I started to make sure I behaved and had veggies and salad every day, and keep losing. I did add metumucil (5 carbs) to my morning shake and dont count it because it is ALL fiber...and still I seem to have broken the stall. Another thing...when you do cheat....it usually takes til the second day for your body to rebel and throw you out of whack....at least that is what doctor told me...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Hi all, Well I am another one who is not losing, yet I think I am counting carbs okay, etc. Drinking plenty of water (2-3 qts a day), no aspartame, no caffeine, very little cheese, no Atkins Bars. I have been stalled for months. Started WOL June 1, and have only lost 8 lbs. I walk 2-2.5 miles at least 4x a week. I won't give up but I am baffled why I can't lose weight. I counted my calories to be sure I was getting enough. Etc., etc., So, I would love for you to tell me exactly what a typical menu for the day might be for you. If you were able to break a stall maybe I could too if you share your efforts with me. Thanks in advance. Teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Teri, For breakfast I have an Atkins shake, For lunch, yesterday, I had 2 hamburger patties with Ranch dressing on them, fried cheese, 4 slices, With bacon melted in it For dinner I had Sesame Chicken. For a snack I had some cheese squares, and SF jello with Redi whip. I also munch on some peanuts. Cheese is not a bad thing, don't limit it, why don;t you list your menu and maybe we can kinda nitpik it and see if there are some hidden carbs or something, Hugs Penny---Ohio 173/157/130***NEW NUMBER**** Goal for Oct 31st-----155 List Moderator http://members.xoom.com/Shadcat708/LC.html http://www.geocities.com/shadcat708/The__Home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Try uping your fat like mayo and cream cheese things high in fat not to high in carbs but protien and calories sounds like your not getting eanough in the system. Eat the fat from the skin off of chicken any animal fat helps you burn your fat I know sounds wierd but it happen to me and someone gave me this same advise and the next week I had lost 3 lbs. give it a try add a scoop of tuna with lots of mayo to your salad or chicken or egg salad to it make sure there is lots of mayo. --- Gitnfit@... wrote: > Hi all, Well I am another one who is not losing, > yet I think I am counting > carbs okay, etc. Drinking plenty of water (2-3 qts > a day), no aspartame, no > caffeine, very little cheese, no Atkins Bars.
