Hello,
I'm new to this forum and was looking around for some advice...well, I found it here. I am on my 10th day of Atkins and lost 5 lbs. the first three days, but nothing since. I also don't have ANY trace on the stix, but just decided to ignore them. Is this normal?
Can someone tell me if I'm doing this right? On a normal day I eat two eggs in butter with last night's leftover meat, for lunch, sliced cheese, maybe a chicken breast or hamburger, for dinner, steak or some other meat with 3 cups spinach leaves or broccoli and some deviled eggs or cheese. I snack on salami and cheese through the day and I use heavy whipping cream in my coffee, about 3 tablespoons a day.
Believe it or not, I was bingeing on pies and cakes and actually sneaking cookies home from the buffet for months before I started on this plan. I was determined to get this habit broken. And I have to tell you, I'm amazed. Not only can I stare down a piece of cake, but I'm not all that hungry for the stuff I'm supposed to eat. My hypoglycemia is completely under control - whereas before I was dropping into dizzy, shaking episodes throughout the day if I didn't eat something sweet! The first two days of Atkins I had a migraine, but even that has gone. I want to get the weight down now that I've made the adjustment. I'm NEVER hungry and feel completely full...but what if I'm eating too much of something and not enough of something else? Oh, I drink about 64 oz of water. I have not been exercising, maybe that's it? When can I expect to see the pounds go down some more? Am I stalled?
Thanks for your input.
D.
