by ideal weight, she means health-wise, not what YOU want to see in the mirror. at 5'4", 112lbs is probably underweight for you. have you ever weighed that much at this height? and how old are you? age has an impact too.

which plan are you wondering if you are following correctly? i've never heard of the "no rice" plan, but if that's "no rice" and you are eating "no rice" it sounds like you are following that plan, but it's not resulting in weight loss.

if you want to follow the atkins plan, you must meticulously track what you eat and how many carbs what you eat contains.

your profile says that you've read the atkins book. i suggest looking at the induction chapter again and making certain that you are following those rules to a t. if not, it will affect your loss.

also, please keep in mind that atkins or any other LC plan is NOT a "quick fix" solution to weight loss. it is about making a change in the way you are eating FOR LIFE.
