I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I went back on Induction last month and sure enough 7 pounds came off. After two weeks I went to the next phase of ongoing weight loss and boom - I hit a brick wall! No weight loss in three weeks! So I'm thinking about going back on Induction but I know that it's not really recommended to stay there. I don't know what to do - I might not even lose anything on Induction. I feel stuck. Any advice?

Re: Fellow Atkin Dieters...Help!
When you started to add some whole food carbs to your diet, what did you add? The first week after induction, you are only supposed to add 5 more grams of carbs, and 5 the next week and so on. You should not lose any weight the first week and maybe the second week after induction.
It also depends on how much weight you need to lose. A heavier person will lose the weight faster than a lighter person will.
I have been on Atkins for the past few months and I have to tell you that I am mostly maintaining. I notice I lose 1 pound a month, and I have lost plenty of inches off my stomach....I am happy with what is happening with me.
If atkins isnt working for you, you may need to analize what you are eating. You may be eating to much of something, or too little of something else.
Do you eat alot of Green veggies, including salads?
Do you eat Alot of Cheese? You are only supposed to eat 3 to 4 ounces a day.

Re: Fellow Atkin Dieters...Help!
I pretty much tried to stay in tune with what I was eating on induction - just added a little extra on the veggie side. But I think I might have been eating too much cheese. I do think that the inches are coming off but I don't measure myself - I get measured once a month at Curves. So next week we'll see if there is a difference. Atkins has been so good for me so far. I took off 68 pounds to date but I'd like to take off another 40. I'm going to try to lay off the cheese and see if that makes a difference.

Re: Fellow Atkin Dieters...Help!
You are very inspiring! 68 lbs yay! Danielle&Scott said all I was going to say about the cheese.
A friend of mine had the same experience you are having, but she said she did lose inches as she plateaued on the pounds. Then she said she all of a sudden, after like 2 months of not losing, started losing again.
