HELP! Atkins stopped working!

Quoted message said:

I have lost about 16lbs on Atkins over 2.5 weeks - for the last 10 days
however I have lost nothing, my weight goes up and down by 1 or 2 lbs and
that's it! I don't cheat, I have been eating either fried sausages, Quorn
sausages, bacon or Atkins bar + Atkins shake (5 carb total) for breakfast -
salad and tuna/chicken with various Atkins friendly dressings for lunch &
meat/chicken/fish/Quorn with cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms etc for
dinner. My only indulgence is tea (2 or 3 cups a day, decaffeinated with
Splenda and a drop of semi skimmed milk).

I have gone from a tight 36" waist trousers (pants) to a comfortable 34"
waist - I just want to get rid of my fat belly and floppy man [censored]! Another
28lbs at least...

My diet hasn't changed but I have gone from losing about 1lb a day (up to
16lbs) then nothing for nearly 2 weeks!!!

What am I doing wrong? Or not doing right?

Normal. Normal, normal, normal.

Don't panic, you're okay.

The initial weight loss is a lot of water weight. Then most people hit a brief
stall, and resume losing after 2-3 weeks of nothing.

Are you exercising? If not, start.

And it doesn't hurt to eat more veggies.

You'll start losing again. Just stick with the program.

And don't take the bogus weight loss pills. If you don't start losing again in
another week or two, you'll get good advice here that's far better than any
pills.

It is VERY common for people to "stall" at the 3rd week. I can't even
recall how many similar posts to this I've read.

Ignore the pills. What you're doing will work, just stick it out.

Make sure you're eating plenty of veggies and drinking enough water. You're
on the right path - we've all been there. When you're feeling discouraged,
just remind yourself of the progress you've already made, because more will
be heading your way if you ride this out.

As you will probably hear, a temporary stall is VERY common around the 3rd week.
Also -- and this is important to know -- when you start low-carbing, your body
will switch from burning glycogen to burning fat. BEFORE it can do this,
however, it must use up the emergency store of glycogen in the liver. Each
molecule of glycogen in the liver is bound to about 4-5 molecules of WATER. As
each molecule of glycogen is burned, those 4-5 molecules of water are no longer
needed and are shed -- THAT is where the majority of the impressive weight loss
during the first 2 weeks comes from. You probably also lost some fat during that
time, but fat takes longer to burn. From now on, it is more likely you will lose
from 1-3 lbs per week. 1-2 lbs is average, and it is a GOOD thing.

Quoted message said:

Probably nothing. You might want to ease up on the shakes and bars, though. How
many carbs (not NET carbs, ACTUAL carbs) and how much fiber is in them? Some
people metabolize them differently than others an you may take in more carbs than
you THINK. There is an ongoing debate over this.

Oh - I did see some tablets in Boots (major UK 'drug store'😉 that claimed to

good?

Doubtful. It probably helps the manufacturer a great deal, however :-)

Quorn is a brand name for different types of meat-style products made with
mycoprotein. (Chicken-style patties, sausage-style links, etc.) It started
in Europe but is now available in the US too.

I had the problem of not eliminating enough because I wasn't getting enough
fiber from my new diet. I started taking sugar-free Metamucil to help my
fiber content, and it did a few wonders.

Don't do this just to lose weight. Do this to improve your health and
lifestyle. In the long run, you will be able to control your weight, but
don't expect instant miracles. Do expect an improvement in your overall
well-being, and enjoy life a bit.

Without chocolate.

you lost a bunch of water weight at first. now you are starting to

your ass and start.

That's why you're still fat.
