ok, it takes some of us longer to get out of the insulin resistance phase.. I have pcos.. and I am insullin resistant. I have noticed that anything sweet in the morning spikes my glucose level ( found this out through gestational diabetes) I found that avacado stalled me. Many bacons and hams have sugar (check the ingredient list) and if all is good just stick with it... Sometimes I will see nothing and then all of a sudden bam... 3lbs down in a day. Another thing check your sodium. Drinking water should make you retain less (I know sounds weird but it is true) the more you drink the less you retain. So if you sodium is up you may need to cut back on that because if atkins does one thing for me it is it helps me not to reatain water. All my rings feel looser even after 2 days on atkins. ok last thing. Measure yourself!!! do your waist, abdomen, hips, upper thigh, and upper arm. and then measure yourself a month later. You can really see it in the measurements at times when you can´t in the scale. Just because your pants aren´t looser doesn´t mean you aren´t loosing it elsewhere. **** I would love for all my weight to come off of my belly but unfortunately I can´t choose where it comes off of. So just keep at it. It will come. Believe me. I am someone who thought that I would NEVER loose weight and in 2004 I went from a size 28 to a 14. It will come just give it some time
