Subject: Just don't understand this crazy diet anymore!

I am so confused. I have been so good, no cheating, or at least not for the past 3 days. I have eatten salads for the past 2 days along with my low carb meal replacement bars. No diet soda(lots and lots of water), no bread, no pasta, no potatos ( except one tiny fry from my niece), and I am fatter now than I was a week ago. Don't laugh, I'm telling you, I have a pudge where I didn't have a week ago. I haven't gained in pounds though. My fingers are puffy, my legs are puffy and my stomach is like bloated. I haven't lost anything in the past week, and I have been trying so hard. What am I doing wrong. I tried to add some calories to my diet, even add a few carbs but I just feel yucky. Should I reevaluate the Atkins way and try something else or keep trying this. I am afraid that I am going to start feeling defeated and "go off the carb wagon".

Any ideas out there. I really don't know what would happen to me emotionally if I gained any of this weight back. I am starting to kind of get bluesy just "feeling" fat again.

Thanks for letting me spout guys. You really have been a
Godsend.

If your getting most of your protein thru these bars,, no wonder,,, they are filled with maltitol,, which is a carb and stalls people big time,, eat real protein! (NT) -- Nancy, 23:43:40 07/17/02 Wed
stay away from the bars and eat more whole foods such a chicken, beef, fish, pork. dont overdue on the salads either if u put too much color in a salad it could have too many carbs (NT) -- edward, 00:28:58 07/18/02 Thu
How's the temperature where you are? How much water are you drinking? I get puffy like that from the heat, and also if I don't drink enough water. I hate to say it, but cut the bars for a couple of days and see if it helps. (NT) -- Katie, 00:34:10 07/18/02 Thu
am i doing the wrong thing too? -- Tonya, 04:36:32 07/18/02 Thu
- They have maltitol (a sugar alcohol) for sweetness and texture. A lot of people are fine with this. Some people need to limit them to a couple of times a week, some people can't eat them at all, as their weight loss stalls. Try them. See if they work for you. Chati was eating the meal replacement type bars, and most people have problems with them. Since she seems to be having a problem right now, this is the easiest thing to eliminate to see if it is the problem. (NT) -- Katie, 07:19:41 07/18/02 Thu
