I recently went off Atkins, too, because I was frustrated by almost 2 months of no weight loss. I figured I would give myself a "break" for a few days, eat some of the foods I had missed the most, then have renewed motivation to be strict about carb intake and increase my exercise. Today is my first day back on Induction -- it will be interesting to see whether I go through the same symptoms I did when I first started back in March.
Someone asked how much the scale jumped -- for me it was 7 lbs in only 5 days off the program!! That was so scary to see that number on the scale that I hadn't seen in months!! (194 !) I'm sure most of it's water, because I'm feeling very bloated and PMS-y.
It WAS fun to eat some things I'd missed (Indian food, ice cream, potato chips, nachos, oranges!), but I certainly didn't enjoy that food-coma feeling that follows eating a lot of carbs. I'm a low-carb convert for life!
