Hello all!
I've been on Atkins for about 2 weeks now and have lost around 11.5 pounds. I weighed about 239 pounds before Atkins and my goal weight is about 165 pounds. I would like to seek the advice of fellow Atkins Diet users please. My weight has been steadily dropping during those 2 weeks but as of 3 days ago, the weight loss stopped. In fact I gained 0.6 pounds the very next day. My weight has now stayed the same for the next 3 days. During those 3 days, I drank 1 bottle (1.5litres) of Oolong Tea each day. I remember reading somewhere that the sodium in Oolong tea will cause water retention and I'm hoping that my weight gain of 0.6 pounds is due to the Oolong Tea that I've been drinking. This is because by the time I finish drinking an entire bottle of Oolong tea, I do not drink much plain water anymore. The good news is I stopped drinking the Oolong tea last night and my weight dropped by 1.1 pounds when I weighed myself this morning. Any tips/recommendations for me? Do I have any cause for worry or am I just thinking too much?
And finally, I have been taking about 3 slices of Honey Baked Ham each and about 12.5g of Cheddar Cheese for Breakfast and Lunch daily. Is this diet acceptable? I remember doing a search and Honey Baked Ham seems ok though it's a little more pricey compared to the other hams. It also tastes nicer.
For dinner, I'll usually eat what's being cooked minus the obvious carbs like rice and potatoes. Btw, I'm Singaporean ...
Cheers.
