to make matters worse i work 12hrs a day in a pretty physical job then goto the gym doing cardio and weights for 90mins ..EVERY day..
my diet is clean i think and im under 20g carbs every day...please help,im getting really peed off..heres a few things maybe im doing wrong but i aint sure...
i dont really drink too much water
i tend to snack on quite a lot of roasted peanuts |
Are you counting the carbs in the peanuts? They add up fast

Pete - On this site we go strictly by the 2002 edition of 'Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution'. You are not going by the rules outlined in the book. I'm not sure if that's because you haven't read it - or because you are doing some other kind of low-carb diet.
