If you want to post a menu, just to make sure you're doing things right, we can take a look. Please include quantities and net carbs for all foods.

Are you using any spices? If you do, how much of each? How many net carbs come from spices?

There's not enough food here. Not enough calories and not enough vegetables (though, without quantities, it's difficult to say for sure).

There's also not enough fat. Atkins is a high fat diet and during Induction about 65% of our daily calories should come from fat.

Are you using FitDay to track your food?

Are you measuring foods?

Are you counting net carbs?

Are you reading the book?

How much water are you drinking?

Are you exercising?

Absent more detail regarding cooking methods and additional ingredients used...

861 calories per FitDay, 7.7g net carb, 7.0g net carb from veggies

Initial Verdict: starvation mode
