I just gained 1 1/2 pound, after only losing 5 in a month. Yesterday I only consumed about 20 grams of carbs, but my calorie count was alittle higher than normal. Heres a tipicle day. Breakfast: atkins shake Lunch: 2 eggs 4 slices bacon snack: 2 atkins candy bars dinner: 2 scoops atkins hot cereal, 1 1/2 cups broccoli, with 1 tbls of cheez whiz snack: atkins bar, and atkins candy bar. Also it seems I gain weight if I eat past a certain time of night. Does anyone else have this problem? I need all the help I can get, The scale depresses me, I think I'm obsessed with it.
