Not hungary...

[NOTTHIN]

18 days...still on induction...down 11.5 pounds ...
here's my issue...I'm not hungary...starting to eat hard boiled eggs
as a meal...a little meat here and there...I'm glad my appetite has
decreased...is it possible it has decreased to much??? This is very
new to me...is it normal??? ...Also, should I add low carb
bread now or will I want to go carb crazy???

The next rung on Atkins isn't the bread one. The next rung is the veggies one. You should be focusing on adding in 5 extra carbs a day from veggies. There is a stiky in the OWL forum that explains it all for you.

Congrats on your loss!!

Appetite suppression is a side effect of Atkins. The trick now is to follow the 6 hour rule and make sure you are eating your vegetables.

IF you want to add food groups, you should move to OWL Phase.

I know how you feel Nothinn... I'm also having a time not wanting to eat. Weird. Maybe we shouldn't complain. I'm forcefeeding myself veggies and try to follow the six hour rule. :_

remeber that is have a small snack of protein/fat with some of your carbs( veggies) when you are not hungry and 6 hours have passed since your last meal.

Yup
last time my appetite plunged and i'd have happily went about 18-20 hrs eating nothing.
Had to force myself to go have stuff to eat.

Isnt it weird to have to remind yourself to eat now and again.

I can truthfully say I never had this 'problem' before Atkins
It's great to find my life no longer revolving about how soon and what I am going to eat!

That happened to me too for the first two weeks, the past few days though I've been hungry like crazy even though I eat more than before (all legal) so I decided to move to first rung of OWL ... I'm hoping this is due to an upcoming TOM (my TOM schedule is messed up so I'm not sure)

[NOTTHIN]

good to see others feeling this way...I guess I'll take advantage and try to

stick to the 6 hour rule...Thanx...
