Don't compare your weight loss to your husbands. Men stink, they lose weight so fast.
I found that I had to cut back on my calories on Atkins to lose weight. I keep track of what I eat in FitDay and try to stay low on the calories.
I think you'd be better off increasing your veggies beyond induction levels. That's a lot healthier in the long run and will giveyou more variety.
Don't do the fat fast. If you want to jump start your loss, I'll tell you what I did. I'm 45, have a sluggish metabolism too. I tried counting carbs alone but I stalled for about 8 months. Took me that long to reconcile myself to having to count calories. I started at about 1600 calories and each week I'd slowly drop my daily calories until I started losing at a decent rate. Like 1-1.5 pounds a week. Once I found that point, I also found my appetite had decreased too.
I had been doing very high fat, but I am doing lower fat, higher protein now. It helps keep the calories down.
Anyway, if you decide to go that route, you might want to use
www.fitday.com to help you record stuff, or you might want to purchase their software (it works very well).
Good luck to you! And remember, men stink because they lose weight so fast.
