Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Damnit, I'm stuck!
Well... almost a month into this WOE, I have lost 12 lbs. The scale hasn't moved since Friday of last week. Fortunately, it hasn't gone up, but it's not dropping either. I eat less than 20g of carbs per day. I really haven't changed anything since induction ended. Any ideas? I also drink close to 120 ounces of water a day with a couple or three Diet Cokes. 263/251/190 since 1/1/04 you should expect stalls that last up to 3 weeks. i > Well... almost a month into this WOE, I have lost 12 lbs.

Wait a week or two, it'll pass. >Welcome the post-induction stall. Wait a week or two, it'll pass. Mine lasted two and a half weeks (I think my husband's lasted two and a half hours!) If this WOE didn't make me FEEL so much better, I might have thrown in the towel. But I wasn't going back to eating all those carbs, weight loss or not. Chronic headaches, fatigue (hey! isn't that the "yuppie flu"!?) and heartburn just aren't worth it. And I'm losing again, so YAY! LCing since 12/01/03- Me- 265/236/140 & hubby- 310/264/180 Try eating a little less and doing some exercise. Slide down some chimneys or something.

Twelve pounds since January 1 is a fine rate of weight loss. You do provide very few clues as to what you are consuming, which may be relevant. SignatureJean B. OK... here's a typical day: AM cup o' cottage cheese with 1/4 of all-bran cereal (dray) LUNCH backed chicken and salad with a small quantity of ranch and some cheese. PM salmon/orange roughy with broccoli and cheese or griund beef w/ cheese and mushrooms, pork rinds That's about it. I don't changeit up too much. If I'm in a stall, that's OK. I just want to know I'll get past it. > > Well... almost a month into this WOE, I have lost 12 lbs. The scale hasn't > > moved since Friday of last week.

I am not on Atkins. I am doing a similar Low-Carb diet called Lean For Life. It really works. High protein -and only protien for 3 days. Then you eat a salad with lunch and dinner. You incorporate only high protein snacks inbetween meals.One day a week (usually the 7th day- )you have another all protein day. I know for me, when I get "stuck" I will eat a little more carbs.. just a little or maybe a larger serving of your salad...or an extra fruit or veggie. This gives your body something to "burn" when you top out... give it a try. |
