Help!
Hello there! I am somewhat new to the Atkin's diet, I am only on my 8th day. I have, however, tried this before but never was able to make it through the induction period. I love my wine in the evenings and sadly that was always my biggest hurdle. I have committed myself to two weeks of no drinking and I have been very strict, I thought, through these past 8 days. I am very discouraged today and almost ready to give up already, because not only have I not lost any I have gained 3 lbs. I am not sure what I could have done, but I must add that during this time period it was before and during my menstral cycle. Does that make a difference???? I also wonder if salt can play a role in retaining fluid. I have been seasoning my meats with alot of it. I also have been drinking an unbelievable amount of water, and I had someone tell me that I could possibly drink too much. I am not sure if that is true either. I am going to be so sad if this doesn't work for me, because I have been so excited about it. I weighed 147 when I started and now I am at 150, and 130 is my goal weight. Does anyone have any encouraging words or advice as to what the problem could be? Kourt
