Wink Hi 3 weeks into Atkins

Hi everyone, have just found this site I am three weeks into Atkins and have lost 17 lbs so far. Its the only diet that works for me, I am hypothyroid, and have always found it difficult to lose weight despite not eating a great deal and sticking to low fat diets.

Welcome to ADBB and congrats for the 17 lbs!

Make sure you eat enough on Atkins. Otherwise, the combination of low calorie and low carb is bad for thyroid.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Thank you for your replies to my post, I am remaining optimistc although previously the weight loss slowed down a lot after the initial three weeks.
I found that my joints were aching yesterday so took a flax seed oil capsule. Does anyone know if that affects ketosis?
Keep taking the water, but I am forever in the Loo.Back and forth.
I am trying to lose a stone by Christmas as I am going to see my grandchildren in London.
You all seem to be doing well keep up the good work xx

Hi and welcome -

Flaxseed oil shouldn't bother keotsis at all - and going to the bathroom will subside after a few days when your body gets use to the additional water you are drinking.
There is a thread here dealing with thyroid problems - here: Thyroid - Atkins Diet

Don't forget to eat enough vegetables (check the acceptable food list (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)(What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html) - 2 cups from the first list and 1 cup from the 2nd list daily. The recipe sites will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- check them out!
