Hi all :-)
I have gone from eating 50+% of my calories/food on carbs (looking at past reports on here) to now 10% ish of my diet on carbs.
I am trying to stay under 30 carbs a day. I am only just starting out but I was expecting me to lose weight but its just not moving! Now I have been eating the Josephs Flax bread wraps (4 net carbs for 1/2 wrap) for lunch most days and I have eaten sugar free jelly with double cream at night and I have also had some Atkins bars to try and beat the sugar cravings. I ma drinking lots of water I am still drinking decaf coffee (black) and I have been counting that in my water (is this wrong?)
Apart from that I have compleatly revamped my food but I have lost 1 pound!!! What am I doing wrong? Should I stick to the Atkins induction to the T? I was thinking that I was doing ok? If I am totally off mark and I need telling then please tell me I want to lose the weight but doing this and seeing no results is pissing me off to be honest!
Thanks
Kelly

Forget net carbs and focus solely on carb content for at least two weeks. Meat, cheese, eggs, approved veggies.0

I agree focus on carb to get your body going and the pounds should drop more quickly. I am eating 20 total carb right now basically it is the induction phase of the old Atkins program.0

Thank you x0

hi kelly your coffee shouldnt be counted in your water intack but drinking more fluides may be the reason why you only lost a pound but that will soon go hun and you will feel better in your self and and results will show up on the scales x0

I think you are doing AMAZING!! But I have heard the shakes & bars can stall you!!
I love them too but
I have to stay away from them!! This was my experience in the past!! I started this WOE but fell of the wagon. So this was my experience last year!! Good luck with your journey!! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!! 0
