You can only lose 1.5 to 2 lb of fat weekly. The initial weight loss that seems extreme at first usually is water. Keep your carbs low, eat your veggies, drink plenty of water and remember that weight loss is not linear. I plotted a curve and it tends to be somewhat sigmoid in curvature. Ask the advice of moderators, they are treasures of information. Exercise is a must.

What problem?  I had lost 7 pounds by the time I was in my 3rd week... that's only 2 pounds more than you, and I thought that was great!  As Georgiana mentioned, it would be helpful if you could add some stats to your signature, that will appear each time you post. I would included age, height, start date, start weight, current weight, and goal weight. Inches lost are super-important... the scale is a very poor gauge of fat loss. BTW - I HATE the idea of the Fat Fast.  |

Don't do the fat fast....I really wish it wasn't in the book because as soon as someone doesn't think they are loosing fast enough they think "fat fast"......post your menu's first then let people like Georgiana pick it apart....I'm sure she can find something that will help you. Make sure you are drinking AT LEAST 64 ounces of pure water daily -- nothing added! Some people drink half their weight in water daily - that's your choice. Exercise is a must - start walking or water exercise if nothing else - dance whatever -- just get up and get moving. How many inches have you lost? I've lost almost 40 inches and 32 pounds...the inches are more of an accomplishement for me. Are you on any medications that may be slowing your weight loss?

Lets see, I drink atleast 1-2 gallons of water a day. Just water. FOr breakfast I have a 3 egg omlete w/a little cheese and some salsa. For lunch either a chicken breast, or ground pork w/fire roasted tomato, or a salad/lite on the dressing. For dinner, maybe another chicken beast w/green beans or sliced pork tenderloin. I sometimes have an eggnog shake. I do need to excercise. I am thinking about doing some walking. I guess I am trying to figure out the "lifestyle". Anyway, I haven't had any bread, sweets, cokes, potatoes, or anything like that. I have gotten used to eating without all that stuff. So I don't have a problem adjusting my menu. I think I got all the age and weight stuff in the right place. Thanks ya'll

Wow your fast......lol. usually just 1 chicken breast, 1/2 pound of the ground pork, I'm not sure about the fire roasted tomatos. I mix the pork and the tomatoes in a larger dish then I break it down into 2 different cups. 1 now and the other later. I haven't measured the salad. I feel satisfied after I eat it, not overly stuffed like I would have done in the past. The pork tenderloin about 5 slices of it. I have used mayo, mustard, I gave up the majority of ketchup. That was hard because I am a ketchaholic. I think that sums it up about now.

Are you using FitDay to track what you're eating? You should aim for 65% fat, 5% carbs and 30% protein. Your menu looks a little too high in protein to me, although it's hard to say since there are many things missing. ----------------------------------------------------------- Breakfast 3 eggs cooked with ___ tbsp butter/oil ___ oz cheese ___ tbsp salsa Lunch 1 chicken breast (about ___ oz) skin/skinless salad with ___, ___, ____, .... ___ tbsp of ___ [insert name] dressing Dinner 1 chicken breast (about ___ oz) skin/skinless ___ cups green beans cooked with/without fat ----------------------------------------------------------- How much did you lose during your first two weeks? Was it the same 5 lbs or less? Are you taking any nutritional supplements? Did you follow any diet right before starting Atkins?
