This is day nine for me in induction. I think I am frozen at only a trace on the Ketosis sticks. I have read the Atkins book over and over and tried to see what I am doing wrong. I gave up caffeine, no alcohol, no carbs except for the veggies and am staying in the allowed zone for cheese. I've used the splenda for decaf tea and that has been limited to only a few cups in 9 days. I drink lots of water. Could the fact that I am 61 cause my metabolism to be slowed down so much that I am stuck? I did lose about 5 lbs but have not seen even an oz difference since last Friday. I am going to start walking 30 mins a day until I get back to the gym on a regular program in February. I had pnuemonia in Oct, so froze my membership for a few months. Any advice would be welcome.
