FYI~ My weight fluctuates throughout the day by 2 lbs... I am staying away from the Atkins products for now. I had to stop because my weight has stalled for the last 3 weeks and I feel they may have something to do with it. Very frustrating! As of yesterday, I cut out sugar-free jello as well because I found it sparks my cravings for sweets, especially at night when my cravings hit hard. . So while I am in the induction phase, I will just eat meat, cheese, vegetables, and avocado and see if this kick-starts my weight loss. =D

Are you drinking "LOTS" of water? I drink tons. Whenever I feel the need to put something in my mouth I take a good long drink of water first.. seems to be working for me.
RE: Atkins bars, I believe your right.My son works long hours and so he eats a couple of them a day, his weight has not gone done for the past 2 weeks. I was wondering if that was the reason too. I'm thinking we (he & I) need to watch carefully which bars we eat. Somthing to think about.
I just bought my first sugar free jello yesterday, hope it doesn't do that to me, but I can understand what your saying. I have to stay away from fresh baked breads.
Hang tough.. I had a week where I didn't lose anything either. 2 weeks in a row would trouble me to. Good Luck friend.

You have a great plan. Those Atkin's products and anything with sugar alcohols do a number on my belly. Dr Atkins warns about Aspertame and it's ability to mimic sugar in your body -- it does for me. I avoid it for the most part and I think jello has it. I had to give up my diet coke because it raised my blood sugar - crazy huh. I have been at this a long time and the longer the more I find I'd rather stick with real food and not make foods that are SF versions of what got me to 240lbs in the first place - so your plan of meats, cheese, veggies, etc., is real food and you're going to do real well with it.

Everyone's weight fluctuates all day long. I can be up 5 pounds at night. Beware of too much cheese to. So good, but so many calories...lol

I agree with all of the above. Also, cheese: I love it, love it, love it. But, it does make me bloated :/ I've actually stopped using shredded cheeses and have started using grated Parmesan cheese. It doesn't affect me in the same way, it still enhances my food, I don't need to use much of it, and it is lower in carbs. As for the water: Yes, drink lots! It helps keep you feeling full, and it will flush out fat cells. But, do be careful with your Sodium intake. I started retaining water a week or so ago. I lowered my Sodium intake, and began to lose weight again. Another thing, make sure you're getting plenty of Fat. I know it may sound redundant, but getting enough Fat in your diet will actually help you lose. Good luck to you!
