Here's the deal w/ me. I'm not a student, but im 19 years old, and im 5'3 and weighed 165 lbs, about 3 days ago, when i first kinda started watching my eating, now 3 days later, im totally in gear got my book yesterday(atkins), and started eatings greens, my current weight is 160, im still in the induction phase of atkins, and its still only been a few days, and i have 1 week 1/2 more to go, but they say u lose so much weight in the first 14 days, im hoping that by next weekend (like sat) i am at least 150, or 155, if not, im losing too slow, is there any1 else out there that had difficulty losing weight in the induction phase, and if so, if u had trouble losing, did u continue doing induction until u eventually saw the lbs come off easily? im doing everything right, i have my 32oz. water cup, and i constantly refill it to drink the appropriate amount, even though i hate doing so cuz i hate water, also my appetite is under control and my cravings have stopped. i read the book, and this is a sign that im doing it right, but also it says eat every 6 hrs, and at least 3 times a day, the prob with me is, the cravings and appetite are so under control, that i dont wanna eat 3, but maybe 2 instead, but the book says 3, or 5-6 small ones...is there any1 else out there who had to force themselves to eat or maybe even u only ate when u felt hungry and still lost weight, and i dont want me, not eating, when im supposed to, affect my weight loss goal or the atkins guidelines...please help any1 whose in my situation...id greatly appreciate it!
