Read the books. ;-)

That way, not only will you know what to do, but you won't mis-spell
"Atkins" any more.

His book "The New Diet Revolution" and "Atkins for Life" have entire
food lists, recipes and meal plans.......

Cheers!

I suggest you switch to the Atkins diet, on which vegetables are
mandatory from the word go. Read the book.

Hi Martin, welcome to the group! That said, you are NOT doing Atkins.
You are eating based on rumors and snippets from irresponsible and lazy
media and/or PETA fanatics (who often deliberately FEED misinformation
to the aforementioned media). You should have been eating up to 20
carbs per day all along, mostly in the form of vegetables from the
Acceptable Foods list. After two weeks, you start increasing to 25
carbs/day for a week, then 30/day, etc., until you reach a level where
you stop losing or go out of ketosis (I eat around 50/day at this
point). You can even start eating some fruits such as strawberries,
blueberries, etc.

The good news is that you've already pretty much gone through induction
and are clearly in ketosis, so you can jump right to the Ongoing Weight
Loss (OWL) phase :-)

Please read the book or, at the very least, go to http://www.atkins.com
to get the CORRECT information about how to eat low carb (note that it
is called LOW carb, not NO carb). By having the right information and
doing it correctly, you will feel better, eat better and be much more
likely to stay on track.

P.S. On the off-chance that you are a troll, that's okay in this instance, because new readers will still see this and realize that they, too, may have been duped by the media and gossip, and that there IS hope and that this way of eating IS sustainable. I eat better now than I have in my entire life and plan to continue to eat this way as long as I have control over my food choices. I'm not doing it mainly to
lose or sustain weight loss (although I'm still working on it) -- I'm doing it because I FEEL so much better and I never want to go back to feeling like [censored] all the time. To me, feeling better is MUCH more important than looking better -- after all, if looking better were enough to keep me on track, I wouldn't have gotten fat in the first place :-)

P.S.S. Looking better has it's perks, too :-)

If you are eating only bacon, eggs and burgers, you are not doing Atkins.
Please read the book and find out which vegetables you should be eating.

I was feeling the same way. I've since switched to the low GI diet
(glycemic index). Some compare it to Atkins' maintenance. I haven't
been exercising much due to a painful sciatic nerve inflammation, but
have been doing what I can until it feels better. Since August 22nd
I've lost 18 lbs. I feel healthier, more energetic, clothes fit
better, people are complimenting me, etc. All the good things that
come with losing weight.

I still eat carbs, but only "green light" or good carbs: whole flake
oatmeal, brown rice, veggies, most fruit, almonds, no sugar added
yogurt, chicken, fish, whole wheat pasta, no sugar added pasta sauce
(which we load with veggies) and more. I've cut out the foods that
made be balloon to 317 lbs (chips, burgers, ice cream), and eat much
smaller portions.

A few people in this group cautioned me about limiting my fat intake.
Each day I try to add some, but in moderation. My fiber intake has
increased, and I'm much more regular, despite a mild case of IBS.

Works for me.

It is called Atkins, and I guess you should *read the book*. I've been
through induction phase (the first two weeks) more than once. 2 cups of
salad greens and 1 cup of low starch veggies are required eating. It may
not sound that much but it still is if you make the right choices,

If bacon, eggs and burgers are all you eat, no wonder you are bored by
food choices. What about chicken, turkey, veggie fritatta? Red
peppers, a little parmesan, eggs, herbs ... there you go.

Did you drink all the required water?

Atkins is not about stuffing yourself with red meat and eggs, fwiw. The
book says, eat until you have had enough, not eat as much as you want. It
is about learning to lsiten to your body... and the induction phase is
intended to help to kickstart your meatbolism and get rid of possible food
allergies and sugar addiction.

If you read the book you'll find out that after 2 weeks you are supposed
to go on OWl, ongoing weightloss phase, and then work up your way of the
food rungs of OWL, more veggies, dairy, fruit, nuts, legumes, eventually
grains.

If you really want to do it, you might want to check in at
www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com - there's a bunch of knowledgebale folks
over there to help you with food choices and motivation.

If you really feel bad about eating meat or being on atkins, you might
want to consider a different plan such as South Beach. After all, it is
your WOE and WOL and has to fit your needs. But if you *say* you are doing
Atkins play it by the book. And read DANDR.

Do you have an anger management problem? You obviously don't
know much about the internet. Ignore those that are just out to
upset you. Posting as you have is called feeding the trolls.

If you can't read the book, perhaps you can read the signature file.
aTkins... You can still lose weight.

Well, like they said, read the book, or one of the books. You can also pick
up a lot from the Atkins website:
http://atkins.com/Archive/2001/12/15-464579.html

Persons with a very high percentage of dietary fat often report regularity.

Since the veggies are mandatory and a primary tool of
the process the idea that you were "doing everything
right except" is rather like saying that everything is
right with your car except for the engine.

You're not doing very well as a starting Usenet user.
Hostile, not bothering to learn the regulars, not
bothering to follow the rules. Unfortunately this
does not bode well for your long term success. If you
are that slap-dash in seeking advice, what's the chance
you will adhere to the actual program well enough to
suceed? Not high I'm afraid. If you get this angry
at good simple advice on how to use a newsgorup or on
what book to read, what's the chance you'll stick with
the program during week 3? Not good enough for you to
learn in advance what happens in week 3 I'm afraid.
