This is my first adventure into a forum. Here goes:

I've been on the Atkins Diet (along with my husband) and have lost and gained and lost it again. My husband lost 12lbs the first week and I lost 5. That was fine. Since then I gained it back and then lost it again and he's plateaued.

I purchased Ketostix and range mostly in the bottom "high" rate. He's getting moderate. This tells me that I should be losing the fat fairly rapidly, according to Dr. Atkin's book and my friends who've been on this diet for months. So, what's up with this? I'm still chubby and I'm not losing inches.

Are the sticks accurate and know more than me or are they just a tease?
