Yep...my tip is that you need to do this by the book.
A cheat is a cheat. And by your own words you had MANY drinks. So not only a lot of alcohol, which your body stops burning fat until it has burned off all the alcohol...but a lot of diet soda which means many more than your 3 servings of artificial sweetners a day.
You are eating bars which is a known staller and not recommended here...and certainly not on induction..they are a frankenfood.
And if you read the book you will know that the goal is not about "very little carbs if any per day" you should be eating TWO cups of acceptable salad veggies (notice I didn't say salad..doesn't have to be all lettuce..but salad veggies) and ONE cup other veggie. This is non-negotionable on Atkins.
Also there are going to be times when the scale just doesn't move. Sometimes it is our bodies taking a break, sometimes we are losing inches instead and sometimes you will get what we like to call a whooshie..so more than a pound or two lost.
Weigh to go on the 30 pounds lost. Don't use the fact that the scale has not moved for 5 days as an excuse to quit...keep trying. Do read the books and climb the rungs...this will give you a greater chance of success. And if you do cheat with alcohol again (and I am not recommending it) then do so with the knowledge that you may not be losing that week. You do the crime you do the time. Hang in there...I wish you success.
