I went away, now im back!

[catherinejm]

As suspected, my weight has crept back up again! So I have just finished my first induction shop (my trolley was very green) but I think other than the occasional chicken breast and protein shake, I will have some trouble fitting enough protein in. Will this affect my weight loss?

Also, any tips as to how I can cram it in?

Any help is much appreciated

Hi catherine and welcome. Atkins is a low carb, high fat and medium protein diet - so actually you dont need to push the protein. Make sure you are getting enough fat and protein to avoid being hungry, eat plently of green leafy veg and avoid all those nasty carbs - should work well

Ah thanks Katie! I will try my hardest and keep you updated!

I think the book is right when it states right at the beginning make sure you read it all first. A lot of people think 'okay Atkins, time for fried eggs and steaks!' its a lot different to what I expected!

Hi Catherine,

I find it really helps to actually weigh or measure my veg at first, because it is so easy to think 'ah, that's about about a cup' only to find out it was two! I also write down all the carbs on a little pad I keep in my handbag so by evening I know pretty well what I have left.

Good luck and hope it goes off quickly : )

hugs

Hi Catherinejm & happy eating.

 

[catherinejm]

Thank you to you both!

Day one has gone well! Haven't manage to have three square meals, more like a protein shake, cheese a couple of packets of pork scratchings and a steak! Promise I will prepare something for tomorrow!

Still feels a little too good to be true!

Am not going to weigh until 2 weeks, hoping to see a bigger loss which will hopefully spur me on!

Well done - and staying off the scales is a great idea

I hope so. Just done a stick and I'm in keto! Very pleased just after one day! I must have been worse than I thought over Christmas!
