I've been on this diet since May 1 2008... well past induction but I have not veer much from it.

I lost 18 lbs from May 1 to Jan 1. Not one heck of a lot but I was happy to see the scale go down a tiny bit each week. I'm 65 and expect a slower loss rate.

Since Jan. 1 I have gained 9 lbs and have NOT strayed from the diet I have been on since the end of my induction. I'm really scared. What in the world is happening?

My menu:

Breakfast: 6:15 a.m.
Menu 1: 2 eggs and 4 slices of bacon or sausage
Menu 2: 3 scrambled eggs

Lunch: 11:00 a.m.

menu 1:1/4 cup of chicken salad made from canned chicken, onion and celery/mayo. 3/4 cup ricotta cheese with whipped cream (splenda)

menu 2: salad and 3/4 cup ricotta cheese with whipped cream (splenda)

Supper: 5:00 pm

Menu: Meat of the day with allowable veggies or salad

If we go out to eat supper, I eat a dinner salad, or a breakfast supper, or
meat with allowable veggies.

Bedtime: 3 tablespoons of whipped cream cheese with whipped cream.

I am desperate here.


I just gained 9 lbs.
