I feel your pain. I'm on my 10th day of Atkins strict induction and I haven't lost a single pound nor inch. I did the diet a few years ago and lost a lot the first week. I'm frustrated because I'm being more diligent this time around.

My best friend lost 100 lbs on Atkins and she thinks I'm not getting enough meat nor fat. She keeps reminding me "fat is your friend". I do find I've been hungry a lot which she says I should never be. Eat!!! Eat meat! and Fat!


Frankly, I don't know if I can afford all this meat in my diet! But then again...I can't afford not to!

I'm gonna keep checking in with you because maybe between the two of us and the mentord we can figure out what tweak we need to achieve better results.

By the way, do you smoke? I've been told that can affect ketosis...
