Hi all,
Am new to the low carb thing. Read the atkins book and decided it made sense. my boyfirend and I have been doing it for 5 days now, and we have only eaten steak, roast chicken, grilled fish, eggs and cheese and two small cups of lettuce a day. we have made very sure not to have anything with sugar in it, and have been using the correct sweetener, and drinking heaps of water. and 5 days on now neither of us have even loss an ounce!
I don't know what to do?
Are we doing something wrong, or is this normal?

Can someone with some knowledge please give me advice, a clue or anything. Am feeling a bit depressed now!

thanks very much.
ps: oh yes we have also had a couple of those EAS carb control bars, not much only about 3 between the two of us. Says on the pack they only have 3 grams of impact carbs so i figured it was ok. THey are so similar to the atkins products. could this be the problem?
