Too soon to tell?
Hi guys and gals. Not sure if I'm just being an antzy pantz or what, but I've been on Atkins for 2 weeks now. After the first 7 days, I realized a 6lb loss in weight. I kinda expected the same results for the following week too, but today found that my expectations may have been too much. The scale still shows me at 210 (6 lb loss). I did a re-check on the tape and that little bugger shows a 3" loss on the tummy, so I don't feel at a total loss.
Here's what I've been doing: Drinking water & decaf tea only - no juices/milk or softdrinks. Most of my food is a meat product,eggs, cheese and a small amount of veggies. My exercise has increased. I ride my bike 2x week now and hit the gym 2-3x week too.
My only obvious downfall: On day 2 I was peer pressured into eating 2 slices of pizza at a friends house. On day 10 I ate a small cookie! I feel pretty guilty about that stuff. Otherwise, I've been a good boy.
I would like some opinions now... since I've been working out some, do you think it's possible that I may be putting on some muscle mass and therefore not losing weight? Or do you think I may have prematurely stalled? Any helpful insight would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
