My ketostix never changed color. They always read negative. I lost 7 pounds in the first week of induction and then after that not a pound has budged in the last 1 1/2 months. I have stayed on induction regardless. According to the DANDR book I have a low metebolic resistance to weight loss, hence the 7 pounds in 7 days. But now, no weight loss in 6 weeks?? I dont know how everyone one has stayed on such an exponential weight loss... I do want to lose 10 more pounds. I'm 5'7" and 140 right now. I would love to be at 130. I do cardio 4 times a week, (running 20 miles a week), and 45 minutes of weight training 3-4 days a week also, which has been my routine for the past 8 years. I have had stalls before with dieting over the years but, not after one week, and normally they resolve after a couple weeks. Maybe Atkins isn't right for me?? I have 5 meals a day. Each meal usually contains about 300 calories, and I have about 20 net carbs a day which almost all those come from veggies. Although I love the Meals, I guess its great for Maintanence and I do feel more "clean" and healthy. I just wish I could drop the last bit of weight, but I should just be happy over the 7 pounds.
Well, Thanks for listening to me vent. Happy low carbing everyone!
