hey there, I totally know what you are going through. I too have been on the diet for about two months and have reached a very frustrating plateu. What I did, I analyzed everything I eat on a regular basis checking for carb amounts, and what I started eating when my plateau began. Keep a look out for an excess amount of artificial sweetners, and an excess amount of preservatives in lunch meat. Plus, are you drinking enough water? Those were just things I did and I found a few faults that's i'm going to try to work out and see if I can get my weight loss back on track. Here is what I found wrong with what I was doing, maybe you might be doing the same thing? I realized that I was not drinking H2O like I did when I was first losing, I started eating "low carb" chocolate bars that turned out to have a bad artificial sweetner in it (maltitol), and I snuck a few ice cream bars here and there. the ice cream bars only had 15 carbs per bar and on those days where my carb intake was way low I would treat myself to one. I think I may stop that though to see if I can get the weight to come off again. Good luck I hope I provided some help;)

Sometimes it's nothing that you're doing or eating. Sometimes the body just needs a chance to readjust -- especially if you lost weight rapidly in the first few weeks. I don't like Atkins for this reason; his book leads you to believe if you are stalling, you must be doing something wrong. He gives you all this advice like the "fat fast" to break thru plateaus, etc. I say reduce your intake of the LC bars, and just hang in there. The weightloss will begin again soon (easier said than done I know).. (NT) -- Kel, 08:12:09 08/30/02 Fri
