If caffeine is a problem, then I will just have to live with that because anyone who loves coffee as much as I do will understand you can't live without it. However, I guess I could switch to decaf. That would be a small change, and although there is still caffeine in decaf, its much less. And I could switch to non-caffeine diet soda. I know I need more water, which is why I'm starting today by drinking a glass with every meal. I don't have that much cheese in a day, but I can almost guarantee that my sodium is off the charts. I don't eat as much veggies as I should be, but I try. Its probably a combo of all of that. Last time I was on atkins, I only ate eggs, bacon, cheese, and pork rines. I lost like crazy. But I can't do that again. The thought of it makes me sick. So my day usually goes like this:
Breakfast: 1 cup of coffee, scrambled eggs, and once in a while sausage.
Becareful as sausage normally has rusk or some type of carb in it..
Lunch: Chicken on either a salad, or with avocado
Dinner: Chicken, Ham, Hotdogs w/ onions and mustard, Shrimp, or Roast.
hotdogs and other deli or processed meats contain nitrates, sugars ect.. also becareful of too much onions and also,,,, I'm not sure mustard is allowed (I might be wrong there - anyone???)
For a snack: Once in a while I have a spoonful of Peanut Butter, or a serving size of nuts, or pork rines w/ hot sauce, or veggies and dip, or cheese, or jerky.
peanut butter and nuts are not allowed on induction and only when you reach that specific rung. Pork rinds - becareful as some of these again may be show low carb but have rusk and sugar..
which hot sauce??? have you read that label and the same with the dip
Lastly.. I think you need to up your veg a little ..
becareful of all the things with added salt or sodium as you will retain alot of water, hence large water gains. Drink loads of water as this is the best way to get rid of unwanted water too.
Also, is TOM due at any time as this will defiantely add to a couple or more pounds.
Keep going and good luck
