I need some help!
Hello, all. Two years ago I was on Atkins for about 5 monts (if I recall correctly) and I lost about 25 pounds, 140 -> 115. I started Atkins again Oct 1st at 116 lbs, with a goal of 105. I'm only 5' tall, so it really isn't as thin as 105 seems.
Anyway, to my problem. For the first week of induction, I was doing great and losing about one pound per day. Sometime in the beginning of my 2nd week of induction, I had a run-in with some "sugar-free" frozen yogurt that turned out to have carbs (there wasn't a nutritional facts label), which bumped me back up to 111. By the end of induction I was 109, only four pounds to go. I stayed at a limit of 20g of carbs per day, and only introduced ketchup, macadamia nuts, and the occasional handful of blueberries to my diet, all in moderation. I walk about 1 mile per day and am constantly running back and forth at my job. Even with all of this, I haven't lost any weight since induction, staying at a plateau of 109-110. What can I do to lose weight again?
I'm trying to provide as much information as possible to get the most accurate advice, so here is my average day:
breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, 1 sausage patty, 1 cup of crystal light.
lunch: 1 slim-fast low carb diet shake--2g net carb(they taste better than the atkins ones)
possible snacks: one string cheese, a handful of cheese cubes, some cold cuts, OR about 1/2-1 cup of sugar-free jello.
dinner: 1 hamburger (no bun)--or one hot dog--with about a teaspoon of ketchup with about 2/3 cup of green beans or broccoli and a glass of diet coke or crystal light.
dessert: 1/3 of an Atkins Endulge bar (whole bar has 2g net carbs).
Anyone have any advice?
