Anyone else gone from VLCD to ATKINS

[Geetwo]

Hey all

2 weeks in and I haven't lost more than 2 pounds I'm just wondering if anyone else went from a VLCD like Cambridge or slim and save to Atkins and how you got on?

it's getting depressing now! I know I'm probably being impatient and at least I'm not putting on! imam in ketosis and have cut back on my dairy.. What else can I do ? anyone have a magic wand ?

It's like my metabolism has buggered off!

I'm more asking if anyone has been in the same boat going from VLCD I'm just wondering how long it might take to start going down

I went from Lighter Life to low carb, but I don't eat any dairy, just meat fish and the odd green veg. Did low carb before and found that I didn't lose much when I included dairy

Thanks iskona, how long did you take before you started loosing ? I have cut the dairy right back now as have a feeling it's the reason

Finally this morning the scales moved again! I just wanted to get under 20 stone lol .. and I have YAY it's only half a pound under BUT IT'S UNDER!!!

I totally miscalculated amy weight loss..
I started August 1st at 20.2 - I went up to 20.6 stone ..

This morning I'm 19.13 so I've either lost 3 pounds or 7 pounds depending how you look at it! My fat percentage also went down 1% as that went up a bit when I started..

I upped the water to 3 litres over last 2 days and had it staggered over the day and not a litre in one go which is meant to help, also cut back on dairy but not a huge amount to be honest

Anyway I am gonna upload my official diary later today hopefully and keep things neater in there ha ha I feel like I've spammed the general Atkins forum !

Hope your all doing well? Keep strong!

It's Sunday morning time for a fry up ! .
Bacon, scrambles chipolatas mushrooms

Lastly I appear to have the sniffles! Could this be Atkins flu after almost 2 weeks ?

Well done you!!!!! Go for the larger loss either way you have got the scales moving! Stick with the low dairy and try upping the healthy fat.

Have you had it in your coffee yet? It's salted! Looks fine added veg oil to make it spreadable. Wouldn't use it in coffee. The unsalted 250g butter is 2 for £2.50 in tesco, better for coffee if that's what you are intending

Ha ha mmm salty coffee.. Or not! - yeah it's what I've been using and would explain the slight twang ill get so real butter tomorrow
