Hi All,

I was always a skinny person in my youth. But every since I got married last year, I have been putting on the weight and my waist size continues to grow. I have gotten to a point where I feel disgusted with my belly and want to do something about it.

A co-worker of mine did the Atkins diet and he lost his belly and the weight that he wanted to I thought I would give it a try.

I started that Atkins diet on April 12th at 222lbs. By April 16th I was weighing in at 215lbs so I have lost 7 pounds in 5 days. Today April 23rd I am still at 215lbs and seem to be stuck there.

During my first week my diet was comprised of:
Breafast; 3 to 4 eggs
Lunch; can of tuna or salmon
Dinner; can of tuna or salmon
and for snacks, I ate some low carb bars.

During my second week I change my diet to
Breakfast; 3 to 4 eggs and sausgages
Lunch; hamburger patty or can of tuna
Dinner; hamburger patty, can of tuna or some chicken
and for snack, I ate some low carb bars and weiners.

I read that sausages and weiners were no good so I stopped eating them. It seems that I lost weight during my first week but not my second. I drink a lot of water all the time. Should I go back to my first weeks diet? The reason why I switched it to a different diet during the second week was because I read that I need to eat a lot of fat.

What do you suggest?
