Okay, all I can suggest:
Tomato is the only non induction food you've mentioned and if it's one small one a day I can't see a problem.
Keep your cheese to under 2oz a day for a week to see if you're sensitive to it, perhaps.
Are you eating -enough-? On Atkins I don't lose when I can't eat. Run your meals through a calorie counter and make sure you're getting at least 1,200 calories.
Are you eating enough fat? You should be getting 65 percent of your daily calories from fat, and if you can raise that level, even better. Cream cheese or macademia nuts are good for this.
I'm sure your gain must be a false gain, as there's just no way you could be getting an excess of 3500 calories a week on what you're eating.

i dont think you have having nearly enough cals or fat hon. the ratio seems ok but the cals are very low.
and you do really need to have the full 20g carbs per day. have some more green veg - cabbage? broccoli? spinach? instead of just lettuce. i would be starving if i only ate what you did.
Have a look on my diary and see what im eating x

You might want to look into dukan if you're really struggling with fat. It's based on lean meat and 0 percent fat dairy. Very low carb so would give you the benefits of that for your diabetes, but also lower fat and cal. Atkins you really have to 'eat to lose' on, and that includes both calories and fat.

It's been great reading your diary Leanne - found myself really eager to find out what happens... like Corrie or something
