Gained weight after a month of induction

[Sadia Naseeb]

Hi,

i have lost 9 kg after one month of inductions but today morning i gained back 1 kg.i know atkins is all about faith n patience but this gain nearly killed me.I am posting my menu down for review.

Really grateful if sumone could check it.

Breakfast: ( same every day)

two eggs fried or omelet ( with 1 tbsp of sherded mozrella ) fried in 20 gm of butter

Snake: ( same every day)
1 cucumber n 1 small meat kabab

Lunch and dinner:

Option A:
3 to four medium sized chicken drum sticks fried
Option B :
5 medium sized mutton kebabs fried
Option C :
Chicken or mutton dry curry made in butter ( 20 gms) ( about 1.5 cups)

Salad:
1.5 cup of mix vegetable salad ( made with one cucumber,1 tomato( without seeds),half cup of cabbage,1 cup of lettuce and 1 medium size green bell pepper)

Note: i sum times add two tbsp of mayo to make the salad creamy and sum time add a around a tsp of lemon juice n one fourth tsp of salt for seasoning.

Water:
drinking 3 liters of water daily.

This is wat i ate for the past one month..Lost weight but now the same menu but i gained 1 kg..wat i am doing wrong?

I know u cant eat dairy products during induction but can i use yogurt to merinate the meat/chicken to be fried or grilled later.Also since i am from pakistan alot of our dry meat dishes r yoghurt based ( around 200gms) .. along wid other spices.can i use it or shud i completely avoid it.

Did you gain this kg from yesterday until today? Or was it from last week? It's normal not to lose weight every day or even every week. As long as the trend is downwards, that's what matters.

Did you know what is in the kebab meat you have for your snack? Sometimes it has non-Induction ingredients in it.

Lunch and dinner:

Option A:
3 to four medium sized chicken drum sticks fried
Option B :
5 medium sized mutton kebabs fried
Option C :
Chicken or mutton dry curry made in butter ( 20 gms) ( about 1.5 cups)

Are these together? Like, do you have 3-4 drumsticks for lunch and 3-4 for dinner? Or are 3-4 for lunch and dinner together?

Yogurt is not allowed during Induction. Not allowed at all, even if you only marinate meat in it. You can start using it in OWL Rung 2 though.

• "Did you gain this kg from yesterday until today? Or was it from last week? It's normal not to lose weight every day or even every week. As long as the trend is downwards, that's what matters."

In three days.

• "Did you know what is in the kebab meat you have for your snack? Sometimes it has non-Induction ingredients in it''

yes i do know coz i made those my self. i use 3 grated onions,chopped fresh mint and cilantro,and ground spices for 2 kg minced meat.

• "Are these together? Like, do you have 3-4 drumsticks for lunch and 3-4 for dinner? Or are 3-4 for lunch and dinner together?"

No.3-4 for lunch n 3-4 for dinner.


Also i forgot to mention that i was taking medicine for regulating the liver function as my doc said it was a bit sluggish.just stopped a week ago ( coz the course has finished) n gained the weight in the same week.I have appointment wid the doctor the coming week where after test he will tell to continue or discontinue the meds.

One More thing ,apart from spending one n half hour at gym , i am pretty immobile. i am a teacher so after school in the noon i sleep for two hours ,then head to gym , 8 p.m dinner n immediately after that i sat on the laptop four about 3 hours n then go to sleep at 11:30.


I live in Bahrain ( middle east) and could not find DANDR anywhere in the few bookstores we have here? Anyone from Bahrain have any idea from where to get it.

Sadia.

Do you have AlJarir Bookstore in Bahrain? I bought it from there. I live in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

mostl likely it's water retention.

to put on a kilo, you need to eat roughly 12000 kj in 3 days.

Thank You for your reply..unfortunately i haven't heard of this bookstore in Bahrain.Its really strange that none of the bookstore here has DANDR.I guess i have to continue my journey without it.

Is ordering it online an option for you? Or would one of your local bookstores special-order it for you?
