Lost another 3# this week. Had a couple of days last week where I increased my carb count to much. Still under 30 carbs a day, but I think that's too much right now. I was wandering around "searching" for something to munch on before I realized what was happening. I didn't snack on anything not allowed, but it made me realize that things were not right. Sure enough my ketone test strip had lost almost all it's color. Today I was back to the beginning all day with some extra veggies for dinner to keep from getting hungry before bedtime. I'm not a nighttime eater, so eating before bedtime usually doesn't appeal to me. Since I started this diet, I have been known to grab an ounce of cheese. Seems to do the trick. Anyway, 1 day back on induction & the ketone strip is back to a darker color tonight. I have to be very careful to do as Dr Atkins suggested in the book to add only 5 extra carbs a day for a week at a time. Hard to do when everything I like has more than 5 carbs! Little by little!

Today I reached my official 1 month on the
Atkins diet plan. I have taken off 15 pounds total & several inches (added together, of course). As fast as the weight went the first week, I expected much greater loss, but...I can't complain since I have averaged over 3# a week. My understanding is that is enough if you want to keep it off? I'm not hungry most of the time & when I do get hungry I get something like a heartburn feeling. Don't know if this is because the stomach is needing something to digest. I never did "do" hungry very well, but I have spent the last couple of years taking Pepcid AC almost every night to settle down heartburn, something I no longer take at all. Just don't need it. If I get that feeling a large glass of water will usually settle it down right away. I'm trying not to weigh myself more than once a week & actually do measurements once a month. Will be anxiously waiting to see what the 2nd month brings.
