hi this is my 1st time here looks good. have done atkins for 2 months now,only a couple of kilos have come off which i dont understand as ihave gone down 2 dress sizes. been off program last 2 weeks as tragedy in family lots of carbs being eaten,back on track this week really tired for 2 days and have had the runs really badly most of the week is this normal? when you have heaps of carbs and start back, its worrying me a little. Looking or low carb bread cant find it. Getting sick of eggs for breaky any suggestions. Thanks for reading this hope to hear from you guys soon.

Hello again Taac,

One thing I didn't say when I answered your "Intro" post, was that if you've been losing inches but not pounds/kilos, it means you have been losing fat. You've also gained a little muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat does - so it takes up less space.

So, well done!

How about having the new FibreX cereal. I get mine from Southland at Cheltenham. It is expensive, $12.15 but you get 14 serves. And it is superdelicious.

I have the suggested serve 1/2 cup, add 1tsp Splenda, 2tbl of linseed meal (Stoney Creek) 1/2 cup water I have heated in the microwave and 2tbl cream. Then I slice 3 strawberries over the top and try very hard to eat slowly.

Very very filling.

It's good to hear the FibreX cereal is good. l only found out about their food last week and am going to go and buy some. They are pretty quick over email and can give you a list of stockits.

There's also PictureOfHealth, and they've been very helpful. I use their muffin mix *all* the time. I eat one a day. They're really great.
