Thanks for sharing :)

Do you weigh and log everything you eat ?

Logging food gives me results I am after so no, it's not annoying at all. I usually pre-log bigger meals/ dinner to make sure that I won't eat too much at the end of the day. The only diffiiculty is eating out. That plate of salmon sashimi - was it 90 grams? 130? I never know for sure

" Now, if the amount of calories being consumed is consistently greater than the amount of calories being burned, we gain weight. This is known as a caloric surplus, and it forces the body to store these left over calories in some form for later use. That form is most often body fat. The good news however is that the…

There is a certain group of people who think that makijg healthy choices is enough. Drinking a lot of water/ green tea, eating vegetables etc is healthy but it won't make you slimmer if you exeed your daily kcal intake. That's why its important to weigh and log what you eat. Every single thing you put into your mouth ( at…

" 11 reasons you are failling to lose fat" a great, great artciele : http://www.acaloriecounter.com/blog/why-am-i-not-losing-weight/ I don't agree fully with what's written there but its worth reading. What I I agree with is that no matter what diet you follow ( low carb, low fat, moderate ) its all about your calories…

When I am really really hungry I buy one cheeseburger at McDonalds and eat the meat+ cheese but without the bun.

I agree - individual portions of nuts,a jar of peanut butter ( almond butter has less carbs ) + a spoon ;) protein bars. You could also consider buying for example Philadelphia cheese and keeping it in your room . This way you have a selection of small " snacks" that are easy to keep track of and you won't cheat because…

One time I have decided to eat whatever I dreamed of for dinner in order to jump-start my metabolism and weight loss again and what did I choose ? Not candies, cakes, ice cream or pizza but grapes and Cini-Minis cereal :)

Feel free to add me. I log in everyday.

-3.3 pounds last week but I had to do a fat fast

A teaspoon or two of almond butter (100% almonds, no oils added)

It's 3rd day today that my weight is the same :(

Good quality olive oil ( 14g of fat per tbsp and no carbs )

How much juice did you get? ( cups, milliliters?) Try this http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/generic/orange-juice-freshly-squeezed

My ideas on how to eat more fat: - add at least a teaspoon of olive oil or coconut oil to each meal - peanut butter - look for cheese that would have more fat than proteins - instead of chicken fillets choose pork or beef. Chicken fillets have a lot of proteins and almost no fat. - eat salmon for a change ( grill it and…

I am so fed up with eggs, cheese, heavy cream and meat that sometimes even though I am hungry I don't feel like any of those and in the end I eat too little. Now, I know that nuts are not allowed on induction but what about almond butter ? Its 100% almonds, no sugar or oils added. Not even salt. Per 100 grams : 643 kcal…

Yes, I am drinking plenty of water and taking a multivitamin. I know that 750 sounds very low but the thing is that I feel well. Maybe its because I spend all day at home thus I dont have much activity this week. Nevertheless, I finished my day today with 1030 kcal ( 11 g of carbs ) :) I want to see if it will boost my…

My average is 750 kcal a day . For the past 5 days I have eaten less than 5 grams of carbs per day. I feel fine, not dizzy or anything, I'm on holidays so I stay at home all day. I workout every second day ( weights+ cardio) . Do I eat too little ? Am I not losing weight because my body is in starvation mode?

I'm also in. It's my 11th day on Atkins. At the beginning ( first 7 days) I was losing weight so quickly like 0.8 kg a day ( 1.8 ibs ) and even though I knew its a lot I was so happy and motivated not to cheat and keep myself in ketosis. Then it stopped so I started working out to boost my metabolism, I started eating more…

4th day of keeping carbs under 20 g per day and - 2 kg

Mine is in September 2014 but I havent tried a single wedding gown yet. That would be too....dramatic. All the shops in here ( Italy) have only very small sample dresses so I want to avoid at any cost any embarrassment :(

It would be great if we could see you food diary so that we could compare ours and get some ideas on what to eat.

I come from Poznan ( Poland) but living in Milano ( Italy) now.

That's great! Im adding you :)

bostonj1 - my first language is Polish

the answer is YES. The only reason why I have chosen Atkins is because it's easier for me to stick to it.

Can't speak Italian yet :) no problem for me to convert recipes though.
