I feel the need to back away. This dieting thing is driving me crazy. I've been on Atkins for over 3 months and I've been stalled for about 2. No matter what I do, nothing seems to work. I've done strict Induction, the meat fast, the fat fast, and nothing. Yet the first time I did Atkins I lost 60lbs in 3 months. Not that I want it to go as fast this time, but gaininng? That just doesn't seem right.
I guess I should've paid attention when everyone told me to get my weight under control while I was in my 20s because it would be so hard in my 30's. Thats what I get for being so stubborn smh
For the next week or so I plan to just eat normally. I will continue to exercise, because even without loosing weight or inches, the exercise does make me feel so much better. I also plan on finishing my smoking book because that is also something that needs to end. No sugary drinks and only healthy carbs. But i'm done counting and weighing. I'm done stressing and trying to figure out whichn are good fats and bad, which veggies i'm allowed, whole grain vs wheat....blah blah blah
I purchased Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution. After my break I will begin again. I've been doing Atkins strictly from memory from when I did the diet 10+ yrs ago. Its quite possible I'm remembering some things wrong.
I'll be back in a week or two (after I read nthe WHOLE book)
I know I can do this. It took me years to put all this weight on. I can't expect it all to come off in a few months.

I did STRICT induction last September after stalling and for a month and lost nearly thirteen pounds. Personally I believe for many of us who are chronically stuck at times long-term induction is the only answer and most here in plain English refuse to do it - I don't think you are one of them, but many who are stuck are. It is really not easy to do and no fun, but for me was the only solution. Maintenance is around 50 carbs a day and low calorie and low fat - I find that this 50 or 60 carbs plus is what it seems like everyone here is trying to do to lose in the long run. Guess what? GOOD LUCK to those people! I couldn't do it - maybe if they're very young and their metabolism is still revved up it might work, but otherwise it is highly unlikely to do much. When I worked as a nurse 800 - 1200 calorie ADA (diabetic) diets were used on the bedridden overweight. Guess what? They ALWAYS worked in time. So saying this is too low of an intake to work is suspicious, likely it isn't working because the fat intake is too high, that is my guess...

Taking a break is probably a good idea. Then you can start fresh. If you still have problems, you might want to get your thrroid checked. Many people have problems and don't even know.
