Help! My husband is driving me nuts about stalling and ketostix
My husband started the Atkins diet in February. I started April 1st. He lost about 15 pounds before I started, but for the last 3 weeks he has stalled on his weight loss. We have been learning more about what not to eat on the induction diet and now have cut out all nuts and have reduced the amount of cheese to only 4 grams a day. I have lost 10 pounds and have the Ketostix to prove that I am in ketosis. He used the Ketostix and found that he was in ketosis, too; but last night when the result came back negative, he was depressed. We do not eat the same foods other that the dinners that I prepare. He eats sausage and bacon and eggs for breakfast. (and has been fixing extra bacon to snack on during the day). He eats pork rinds after work. Up until last week, he was eating the low carb bars for lunch about 3 times a week. The other days he would eat either a fast food burger and/or salad. Dinners usually come from the New Atkins cook book. Should we be "experimenting" with our weekly menu to determine the "right" foods to promote weight loss? We both drink lots of water too. I fear that I may begin to stall too. Help!
