Coming up to six weeks in total and I've dropped 23 pounds.
The problem is, I'm bored. I guess this is the period that separates the real Atkinsers from the amateurs, because, having sloughed off a load of fat, having begun exercising, some mild weights etc, I find a little red me on my shoulder telling me that this is enough, I shouldn't push it further, at my age (!), that vegetables are good for me, as is yoghurt by the pound.
Sigh.
And I only have 12-13 pounds left to go.
My weight loss is slowing nicely, I am still losing despite now being on the bean rung, and I just hope I can keep on being virtuous.
The main problem is, I'm actually feeling hungry. Whereas at the start of the diet, I could happily subsist on a few bites of chicken and some greens, now I could eat half a chicken and two pounds of broccoli. This is despite l-carnitine and zinc picolinate tablets. Plus, I feel a lot less energetic than I did at the start, though I think that might be because of the (very very mild) weight training - I am very seriously unfit.
Oh, well, hope I can keep it up.
