Splenda is one of the "legal" sweeteners. But as with any food, you'd have to see if it works for you.

Dr. Atkins observed that diet sodas sweetened with aspartame caused some of his patients to stall or slowed down their weight loss, which is why he doesn't recommend it.

I don't think I over eat, cause I dunt eat that much now, unlike my first Atkins trial.. now I barely eat the 3 meals.. and i'm never hungry after lunch except like 4 or 5 hours after it. I try not to eat much at night.

Are you getting enough fat in your menus? Are you using FitDay to see what your percentages are?

Ohh i'm Dieing FOR A CHEESE cAKE !! .. Do u have a recipi or somthing? .. Again we dont have heavy cream here, not that I know of, but we have half and half milk or Baking Powder .. we also have Whipped Cream ( the flavoured white thing not the liquid, cuz I always get confused between it and the whipping cream)

Sweetened whipped cream is not allowed. The fluid is the one that is---that you can whip and sweeten yourself.

Cheesecake. Maybe try this: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ml#post1036867 (Cheese Cake Muffins) ? You probably can't find SF syrup (I can't find any in Germany either), but that could be omitted.

Or this: Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes

I can't have black cofee cause I have gasteritse and it is killing me, so I use skimmed milk which I know is forbidden on Atkins but I can't help it, would it be better if I used full cream, since the Skimmed I know have more Carbs !

None of them would be okay for Induction, but you could have them in OWL Rung 2. Coffee is not good for gastritis regardless of whether you add milk in it or not... so coffee & milk could both be sabotaging your health and weight loss. Why not give it up altogether? Do you feel you need caffeine or is drinking coffee just a habit? Or maybe a cultural thing?

I try to have Raw veggies as much as I can, but As i said, I don't really have much of an appitite now, Atkins really made me lose That !!..

You could also cook your veggies, no need to eat them raw (although you should measure them raw). Appetite suppression is great on Induction, but make sure you are getting all your veggies in---they provide you with the vitamins, minerals and fiber your body needs.

I hope Its possible to upload a Picture of me now and would get other people's feed back just to know where I stand, I think I have to lose 10 more Kilos ( lost 20 already).. But I dunno, I think im chubby but not fat, But defintly need to LOSE weight !!

You can upload a picture on ADBB. Click on the "Gallery" tab on top of the page (where "User CP", "Portal", "New Posts", etc. are). On the next page, you'll see another toolbar, which has a tab saying "Upload" (on the same line with "My Stuff", "What's New", "What's Popular", etc.). Click on it... Then select the files from your computer which you wish to upload (there's a button with "Select Files to Upload" written on it). Then click on "Submit" at the bottom of the page and that should be it. Don't worry if the pictures don't appear immediately.

Also, to avoid spam and other nastiness, I would suggest you remove the email address from your previous post. You never know who's roaming the forums...
