WHY WHY WHY WHY OH WHY?

is the damn scale not moving???? I am so frustrated! I feel like I am doing something wrong- and perhaps I am. I have cheese and cream on a daily basis which I am going to reduce starting today. But it is just sooooo annoying! I really feel like breaking something today... Every morning i wake up with the same ray of hope that I will get on the scales and see a loss- but no every day the scales stay stuck on the exact same number- 83.3 kg. And the really annoying thing is that I am still in ketosis- i have checked with the sticks and my breath tastes really metally.

Firstly I would suggest hiding the scales for a week & next stop cheese altogether... how much are you drinking water-wise?

 

[sweet-like-coco]

2 litres a day hun. I really love cheese so it will be hard to cut it out completely...I will try my best though

If you cut it out for a week, see how that affects your weightloss & then try & re-introduce it... make just shake it up a bit?? Atkins does only recommend 4 oz of cheese per day, thats not much really.

I'm also in the middle of a stall & am trying to leave out some things plus also check that I'm not carb creeping too.

It will move sometimes you just have to give it a bit of a shake up first. x

Will do hun- thanks for letting me know

Today I will have tuna with egg and mayo for lunch and a salad

and fried chicken for supper with some lettuce

do you think this is ok?

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Sounds good to me. xx

 

[sweet-like-coco]

do you think a tablespoon of parmesan on the chicken would hurt?

Watch the cheese, it does stall lots of people. I rely on it because I am vegetarian but I, too, need to limit it.

If you are having dairy as well, for example, cream in tea/coffee, then you need to add that to the total of 4oz per day MAXIMUM.

I would try to at least halve the amount of dairy you eat. If that doesn't work limit yourself to 1oz cheese/dairy per day and see how you go.

You want to lose weight as well as eat tasty food in moderate amounts. If cheese is gonna be a problem you might just have to accept that. I tend to have it every other day now. You may need to cut back to three days a week. A small price to pay for such a wonderful way of eating!

All the best x

Oh- i thought it was 4oz of cheese AND 4oz of cream a day...was i wrong?

I always read it as 4Oz of dairy produce a day. I have a problem with cheese, if I want to gain weight, which I do need to do sometimes, I just eat a lot of cheese and then I put on weight.

 

[lucysmommy]

i tend not to eat cheese everyday :-(

4oz is not much at all - deffo cut it out and see how you go
