Yummy mummy to be!
First thing i notice is that your only getting 1k - 1.5k kcal a day. Atkins book recommends at least 1.5k a day but no more than 1.8k. I suggest eating a bit more.
Atkins books also recommends eating 3 meals a day and that any shakes should only be a snack, not a meal replacement.
Atkins also wants you to eat as near to 20g of carbs a day, getting 12-15g from veggies alone. If you're having two protien shakes a day i'd estimate that 6nc (i'm being generous), that means your only getting 6g of carbs from "normal" food probably less from vege's.
I would suggest going back to basics on induction and follow the plan as the book suggests. I know other ppl take short cuts and do little cheats but if they keep losing then great! If you stop losing like you i'd would go back to doing it as the book suggests.
Hope this helps and i hope you get things moving soon.
O BIG BTW, is it that specail time of the month??? I put on 3-5lbs during this period (excuse the pun), its notirois for water gain. You'll lose the water again once things have calmed down

Good luck I'll be joining you by Sunday! x
Jumping in too - i'm so disheartened i've been eating exactly as i have all along and i've not lost anything in two weeks waaaaaaaaaah . Cant think of any reason why either , will go out tomorro and buy some ketostix just to make sure i havent comeout of keto though. I am struggling really , literally only got my leg outta plaster and i fell over last week and broke my arm so now i've a cast on that instead , that certainly isnt helping the mood any :cry:
How unlucky can you be? Hope things improve in all ways for you xx
