Default Re: My son's weight loss

Weights will bob up and down a bit. I don't know your circumstances or history, but even on Atkins 4 eggs and 4 slices of bacon in the morning seems excessive. Try three of each and see what happens. After 20 mins he may be full. If not, then eat something else. Many times we get used to eating a certain quantity without realizing we could be satisfied with less. Also this is really high in cheese. check that he is getting only 3-4 ounces a day.

If your child is a teen, there are better options than Atkins. The book "Feed your Kids Well" by Fred Pescatore, is an Atkins based program for teens that guarantees their nutritional needs while losing.
