Bernadine:

Whoa Nellie, put those horses back in the corral! Let's not get excited yet!

It is WAY too early for you to begin playing with your plan. Seven pounds is a good weight loss on induction! You are not stalled!!

Stall - no weight loss OR inches lost for FOUR weeks (definition per Dr. Atkins).

Work the plan, finish your two weeks and then climb the carb ladder just like Dr. Atkins says. IF you stall after that, come talk to me, but don't be tweaking just yet!

And - Yes, I find that cravings are worse on carb up. In fact, they are nonexistent for me on carb down. I do get hungry sometimes, but I just want cheese or chicken or something...
