Plan: Atkins
Stats: 223/222/170
BF:
Progress: 2%
Location: Philadelphia Suburbs
Default Question on Calories.. help

Day 21 on induction:
No weight loss..
120oz of water...
Exerrcise 30 minutes a day at target heart range
Food ratios at Fat 73% carbs 2% protein 25%
weight at 222
calorie intake at 2200 to 2600 a day
No artificial sweetners
No caffine
Using L-Caritine to break up fat at 1500 mg.

I feel full except in the late evening..but I eat something at night
So I am never hungry
the Ketostrips show moderate color at three steps above neutral
Clothes feel the same..
here is my question.. If Atkins says the idea about this diet is to make you feel less hungry ( Which I am ) and thus less caloric intake. Low carbs ( which I have ) body in lymposis ( ketostrips )
If I lower my calories,but keep the ratios of fat carbs and protein the same.. will this help..? the fact that I am a diabetic ( but since the start of this my sugar had been perfect without the use of meds, but this doesnt tell me how much insulin my body is putting into my system..which I think may be the problem.
I will never give up..
Thanks
Bill ( E-T )
