Hello Everyone!
I've been on the Atkins diet for a little over two weeks now and have decided to continue on induction. My question posed to all of you knowledgeable low carb veterans is why I'm not losing as much as I think I should be.
I've lost maybe between 2-5 pounds - the scale fluctuates. I'm in moderate to large ketosis according to Ketostix and I have lost about an inch and a half off of my thighs and scattered inches off of my hips and ONE calf (??) and other parts. Maybe if you saw my typical menu you could offer some suggestions or tips?
Here goes:
Breakfast:
3 egg Omelet with bacon (2-3 strips) with cheddar cheese about 1 oz.
Lunch:
Sometimes another omelet like the one I had for breakfast...I'm uninventive for lunch, what can I say...OR leftover meat from the night before eg: meatloaf or broiled chicken - naked Buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing.
Dinner:
Salad approx. 1 to 2 cups with lemon juice. garlic and olive oil dressing, Broiled steak or chicken with mushroom sauce made with a tablespoon of sour cream and chicken broth, garlic, butter.
Dessert:
Diet jello cheesecake or mini cheesecake (one ramekin) made with splenda, cream cheese and eggs.
Am I doing something wrong? Not enough veggies?
Also, I was wondering if it is ok to eat asian noodles - spring noodles made of beans or is that a no no
Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance!
