Today is my third day of my first time on Atkins

Hello,
I am new to this forum. I was feeling dizzy this morning when I woke up, but I felt really well in the afternoon. I have been eating 2 eggs, 2 bacon and tomato slices for breakfast. For lunch I had 2 chicken tenders (breast) greens with avocado and cucumber + oil and vinegar. at night I had a turkey burget with greens, tomato, cucumbers. I had 4 slices of low fat swiss cheese and about 6 pork rinds with topenade (chopped olives and peppers in olive oil) for snacks. I drank about 3 tablespoons of flax meal with water and 8+ glasses of water. I am not sure how to meassure my vegetables. Can someone help me? I really want to do this right. I have been gaining weight pound after pound and would like to go back to 105 pounds.

hey there! welcome to adbb

there are two ways to measure veg:

1. by volume - this means buying a measuring jug (i got a plastic one for a dollar from dollar tree)

2. by weight - which would mean buying a kitchen scale

i prefer by volume personally, because im not good at reading scales!

have you thought of using FitDay? its a website that allows you to track everything you eat and it does loads of calculations and diagrams for you - its an invaluable tool - best of all its totally free!!

Thank you very much for the tip. The website looks very helpful when you are trying to stick to your weight loss program.
Thanks again!

I see you are using low fat cheese and eating quite a lot of protein. Make sure you keep your fat percentage up. During Induction, you should be aiming for 65% fat, 5% carbs and 30% protein.

Flax is only allowed during Induction as a fiber supplement or as a constipation reliever. As a fiber supplement, it is limited to 1 tbsp per day. As a constipation reliever, you should try 1-2 tbsp, and only if this does not work increase it to 3 or so tbsp.

Good Luck, once you get past 4 or 5 days you will think wow! why did I not do this before. Keep up the fat and protein the weight will drop. Veggie are important eat the right amount.
