What about your veggies? Are you getting any? Have you taken your measurements to see if you are losing inches instead of pounds?

[spinky]

oh i am eating some veggies...not much..i wanted to really jump start this diet...i dotn know what i am doing wrong...i am eating very little ...

Perhaps you should follow the rules. Induction as it is meant to be done is a kind of jumpstart.
Don't eat to little. Your body will just eat up your muscles in the process.
Get with the game follow the programme

your a walking billboard dude..take up too much space..lol..your posts need to go on a diet...

IMAO

eh...

i am eating enough..im not losing muscle..

[liv]

Are you talking to me

I am not taking up too much space. I went on Atkins a year or so ago and lost my weight. Now you do that

[kibskix]

If you were eating enough you wouldn't asking for help.
Meat cheese and eggs is not induction, and is not atkins. Take livs advice and read how to do it correctly, it works when you do.

[spinky]

actually i did do that 10 years ago buddy. i went from 290 to 180 in less than a year and AND AND doubled my strength which most of you will never do. went from benching 130 to 285. so i did it without losing any muscle..

now 10 years later i find myself at 194 and i want to lost 10-15 pounds. i am older and it may take longer...i just find it hard to imagine that i havent lost one pound when the 1st tim i did this i lost almost 20 pounds in induction (over a 3.5 week timespan)

Your body is fighting you every step of the way. Follow the plan it is made to make the body happy. You eat till you are satisfied, your get energy for your body and yet it will willingly let go of the fat because you have reduced the carbs. It works hon>
You are right that it may not be as fast as it was.

[spinky]

yeah...i heard it isnt as quick as when your younger and another thought i had was i dont have much to lose which slows it down even more!!! when i was really fat it just came off so quickly.....
