Okay, I am new here....and need advice from experienced atkins dieters.

I've been doing atkins for a month now. Everything was going good, but now my weight loss has slowed. I have tried to reduce my portions of splenda substitute and caffeine. Yesterday, it seemed like I couldn't get full. This was the first day I have felt hungry all day, not satisfied, on the diet. On this day I ate KFC grilled chicken, some green beans, and salad, a few strawberries, and had a carbquik biscuit with sf syrup. Maybe this was because I added fruit and more veggies? And carbquik? I have been avoiding all fruits and most veggies beside broccoli up to this point. I don't know. What do you suggest? Should I do an extended induction? I was started to feel constipated so I thought I should include more veggies. I am in a constant state of ketosis. Help me. I don't want to lose focus and give up. I really like this eating lifestyle and don't want to throw in the towel just because my weight loss has slowed. I have about 40 more pds to lose. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
