 Re: 11 days down and only 5 lbs lost | |
I was actually confused by the mad face that came with the title of your thread. Congrats for the 5 lbs gone forever! And if you don't think 5 lbs is a lot of weight, carry 5 lbs of water/flour a whole day or exercise with a 5 lbs backpack on your back, and you'll certainly appreciate them. 
Don't compare your weight loss now with the weight loss you had whenever you did Atkins before. As Dr. Atkins wrote, Quote: |

Finish Induction and at the end of the 14 days use the charts on page 158 of DANDR to determine your degree of metabolic resistance. Then re-read Chapters 12-13 to decide what you're gonna do next---continue Induction or move to OWL.
What are your stats? If you want, you can post a few menus (incl. quantities) in the "Review My Menu" forum and we can take a look over them.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
