Hi there, I'm new so sorry if this is wrong!
I started the Atkins at the start of the week, bought the book and plenty of eggs, meat etc.
It's now saturday (so 5 days) and I'm not noticing anything. I haven't lost a pound (so not even water weight...)
I wonder if I'm doing it wrong, the main thing I can think of is I was a bit selective with my veggies, I'm fussy really.
An example of my days food would be:
Breakfast: Plain 2 egg omelette
Lunch: Chicken salad
Dinner: Turkey and veg (veg being a carrot and a handful of chopped sugarsnap peas and green beans, possibly babycorn.)
Snacks might be cheese or peanuts (I later found out these weren't allowed during induction so stopped that, I mustn't have read right first time around).
I know those veg aren't on the list so not sure if that's why... It's either meat and those veg for tea or a big salad with meat. Tonight is homemade burgers and salad.
I just wanna know if I can eventually reach it (I'm impatient) because it's the weekend and I have the feeling I might give up; I had a forkful of baked beans this morning
I'm drinking LOADS of water, maybe about 3L a day...
Any help or just some words of encouragement or ideas where I'm going wrong would be great, I don't want to give up if I might reach it, but don't want to carry on if I won't!
I like this way of eating because I'm literally never hungry, but evenings are my downfall, I usually snack all evening and I was a sugar addict! Atkins has really opened my eyes to how much carbs is in so much food!
