Re: 20 days in, 19 pounds lost | | I agree with IrishIrish -- you aren't actually following the Atkins plan - you are following what the general public think of as Atkins (no veggies). You have lost weight yes, but not a healthy way. How many carbs are you eating daily? You are suppose to be getting 20 net carbs daily MOST of them coming from vegetables.
Instead of saying "I don't like vegetables" try something new - your tastebuds are different today than when you first started because you have stopped filling your body with crap.
As far as only having a bowel movement because of taking a laxative that is because you aren't eating any fibre so you aren't able to rid your body of waste.
Start eating vegetables - it's a must |
