There could be lots of reasons that you're stuck. The best way for us to help you is for you to start a journal and post a few days' worth of menus in there. The mentors and senior members are very helpful and will be glad to give you some suggestions.

If you've been on induction for 10 weeks, my first guess is that you're body has grown accustomed to the "same ol' foods" (?) day in and day out. Try some new veggies!! Or eat 5-6 small meals instead of 3.

Are you eating processed meats? A lot of cheese? Too many diet soft drinks and/or artificial sweeteners?

Perhaps you're eating too many calories, or not enough calories! Again, it's hard to say without knowing exactly what you're eating.

Most likely, however, you've just hit a plateau....which is VERY normal. I just came off of a 6 week stall myself but have finally started losing steadily again. You just gotta stick with it!! Maybe shake things up a bit by adding 20 carbs a day for a while,then go back to induction if you want.

Are you exercising? If you're not exercising, you're not doing Atkins!!

Hope this helps....
