You are going to hear this from everyone who responds.....

1. Eat more veggies. For sure. If it is Atkins you are doing, induction calls for 20 g of carbs. Less is not better in this WOE, in fact, sometimes a little more can do the trick. Give you body some fibre! All carbs are not equal, some good, low carb veggies will help, green beans, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower...

2. You are not drinking enough water. On this diet most recommend over 64 oz of water and more. You can't drink enough water on this diet. It is essential to keep the fat flushing from your system.

3. Watch out for the diet pop. Diet pop is a NOTORIOUS cause of weight loss stalls. The artificial sweetener can cause your body to respond with insulin as it does with sugar. Many people experiencing stalls will attempt to quit all artificial sweeteners in order to see if it makes a difference. 4 cans of soda do not make up the difference in your water. In fact it might cause problems as soda can have a diuretic effect if it is caffinated, or a bloating effect causing you to retain water if it has a lot of sodium.

Every time I seriously stalled out, the inevitable solution was to eat more calories...this almost always worked. Really try to eat 10 to 12 X your body weight. Don't skimp on the carbs you are allowed to have, and don't skimp out on the water. Quit the pop for now, and see if it changes things.

Good luck!
