I started Atkins almost 2 months ago. I did the first 2 weeks of induction and lost 7 lbs. I went overseas and did not follow (champagne, fries, etc.). I did not lose any more weight but I did not gain any more either.
Since I returned last weekend, I went back on strict induction (lost 2 more lbs). I realized though, that I am not getting my 20 g of carbs a day no matter what I try. Today, I added some raspberries to raise my carb count but it hardly moved. I had a slice of cheese. Had an extra cup of salad. I am so full from eating all day that I could explode.
I am currently at 10/7 Net according to Fitday.
Is it dangerous not to have 20 g of carbs a day? What can I do do raise my carbs without eating banned foods?
Here is what I have had so far today:
2 Large eggs with 3 slices of Bacon
2 small Ground Beef Patties with garlic and herbs
1 cup of mixed greens/herbs with Sesame Oil and Lemon, grated Parmesan.
1 cup of mixed greens/herbs with Olive Oil and Lemon
1 slice of Pepper Jack Cheese
3 slices of dry salami (nitrate free)
6 raspberries with Creme Fraiche (richer sour cream) + a little Splenda.
A spoonfoll of crab meat.
1.5 liters of mineral water.
5 Metamucil tablets.
I really don't feel like eating any more. Do I have to?
Thanks.
