Default Re: Maybe I'm not eating enough?

Congrats on all of the exercise you are doing - that's fantastic! Have you been measuring? You may be losing inches even if you aren't losing pounds (muscle is heavier than fat, but smaller/denser).

Dr. Atkins said to eat when you are hungry - I think a big part of this WOE is to learn to trust our bodies (and for our bodies to learn to trust us). Feed the body when it is hungry, don't let it starve. Don't stuff the body full of crap, or stuff it when it isn't hungry. Choose the right foods to feed it, and this WOE will be a success.

I agree with mom...if you don't have much to lose, you should move to OWL - some people do lose more/faster on OWL rung 1 than induction.
