Hello everyone. I have been LC-ing for just over 7 weeks now and love the changes I see and feel everyday..I have lost 15 pounds and am very happy. (ALTHOUGH) I notice that since I had started having one Atkins bar a day as sortof a reward to myself that my weightloss has came to a hault.. TOTALLY. I log every thing I eat and drink in a notebook, so I can look back and see if any new things may cause a change in my weightloss.It has only been 2 weeks of no weightloss but it seems very funny that's how long I been enjoying them bars, Hmmm!Has anyone else had this happen to them? I would really like some advice for this .. Thank you so much

Yes -the bars cause some to stall. If I were you I would stop eating them and see what happens.

Are you talking about atkins bars (advantage) or the chocolate endulge bars?

Yes, The Atkins advantage bars.. I gave them up 2 days ago so I guess I just gotta see what happens in the next few weeks. Thank you for the quick response

They are ok for me...as long as I don't eat them every day. I have two per week at most; usually in 1/2 bar increments and am losing again.

how about the cereal? i just picked up some of that, but am curious if it'll stall me out or not. of course, i've been stalled for a bit, so who knows....

Your mileage may vary, as they say. Some report stalling on frankenfoods, others do not. Only one way to find out!

This is interesting as I've been on a stall now for about three weeks- the same amount of time I've been enjoying an Advantage or Endulge bar daily. Hummmm. Think I will stop for a week and see if it helps.

I have been sticking with Induction for about 2 1/2 months. I was doing really well and then hit a stall about a month ago. Now that I think about it, the only thing I added in was a few Atkins Bars or Carbolite bars. (usually one a day) I think I will drop them and see what happens.

I am absolutely sure that Atkins Advantage bars is the culprit for me not losing anything during the first week of my induction. Although the book says they are permitted, I was really getting frustrated by my lack of results. I had my last Atkins bar on Sunday. From Sunday to today, Thursday, I have lost 8 lbs. I've changed nothing else in my eating/exercise habits.

hmm... atkins center sells bars, makes money, stalls weight loss, you stay on diet longer, buy more bars....

*shock*

CONSPIRACY!

Well it's been a week now since I started leaving them out and I lost 2 lbs.. Im back on the track again. Sure brought a smile to my face Thanx everyone

Something else. As I noticed you have similar weight loss goal as I had. When you are only 10-15 lbs from your goal, the weightloss slows down, even without any culprit. Patience can help:-)))

(My monthly weight loss were: 8lbs, 7 lbs, 5 lbs, 5 lbs, then I needed 3 months to loose the last 10 lbs.)

Great job, good luck for the last 13:-)))
