performance: losing 4.3 lb a week

Hi. I'm Halli, 46 yr old, single mom of Mor (16.5) and Amber (15). We live in Israel (I'm both american and Israeli). My weight has known many ups and downs since I was about 18. I'm 5'8" and 163 lb, the heaviest I've ever been except for right after Amber was born. My life is as hectic as it gets. I'm an architect and as of year ago also a lawyer, and work as the legal advisor of a construction firm- usually 10 hours a day, 9:00-19:00. The only exercise I do is walk up and down the stairs to my 3rd floor apartment (no elevator....), usually twice a day, unless my daughters neglect to take out the dog (ah- yes- we have a puppy and a cat- both contribute greatly to the messiness of my apartment), at which case I do the stair business a third time. Seeing as I really don't have much of a life outside of my girls and work, I feel I must get back to the weight at which I like myself. This as a first step towards going back to being the friendly, funloving, sought after person I used to be before I went back to school to get my law degree. I really need your support in order to achieve this goal!

Please peek at food calendar...
After I was getting really frustrated over constant fluctuations in my weight for about 4-5 weeks after which I ended up right where I started, I did the fat fast and dropped about 2 kg in 3 days. That was last week, and although I added back foods, I still try to consume very little calories a day (aim for 1300). And now the scale is finally starting to move (its only at the waist that I see any change, and it too is little). I guess that even on Atkins I have to limit my calories, at least for now....

weight not coming off?!
I'm from Israel and have no problem entering foods. They sell here almost everything that is on the list, some of it is the original brand name, some of it local. If they have it here, I'm sure they have it in England. If I want to eat something local, I look at the food list on this site and use for my diet calander the food which has the same or very close nutritional value- for instance "heavy cream"- I take the local brand which has 8 net carbs per 100 gr, and find the heavy cream on the food list which also has 8 net carbs per 100 gr.

Just some pointers cheliros. I just quickly looked at your 27th menu and If you are trying to follow the rules of induction (which you should coming out of the fat fast) you are eating too little veggies and you are having nuts that are not allowed the two first weeks of induction. Atkins in the 2002 book says to be careful with coffee. (I am one of the people who has trouble with coffee and caffeine as it affects my bloodsugar)

I've been on iduction for 4 weeks!!!! and it was frustrating as i was loosing weight then gaining it back on several times while doing induction and strictly following all the rules (ending up where i started). now after doing the fat fast on which i lost about 6 lb, and have'nt put any of them back on (pleassssse let it stay that way), i'm trying to keep the cals low (i'm aiming for 1300-1400, but am closer to 1500) and for now will keep the nuts, as i see that my body accepts them well.

PIZZA! ( ok, just the toppings) do you indulge?
as long as we are on the subject, what do you people say about 85% cocoa dark chocolate? it says 19 carbs per 100 gr, meaning 4 carbs per serving. do you think this might be atkins-compatible?

what i ate these last few days are what's allowed during doing the fat fast- doing so you have to to limit the intake to 1000 cals a day, 90% of them from fat- the recomended mainly cream cheese/brie and nuts, the rest from protiens and carbs. that's why it's really not healthy to do for over 5 days. now, after jumpstarting weight loss (i realllllllly hope so,going back to induction with the foods it restricts to and their ratios.
