Day four this time
is today so dont know yet about the food but will probably look at lot like the last few days and I am still at 195 so no loss thus far. I am not worried just wondering why it was so different last time. I did exercise far less and the things I ate were very different I didnt eat any where near as many veggies as I should have or am this time. There was a lot more diet pop involved and less water so the change I saw may have come from that and I may just be retaining more water this time. I have to say the way I am doing it this time is much more like Dr. Atkins wanted but its taking me time to get my fat carbs and protein all worked out in a good ratio. Im sure I will see a change in weight this week so I am not discouraged and this by no means is meant to say that you should do things differently than the right way because I dont feel you should. I just wanted to show you the difference and of course I will know more when I am down with induction and will post more if you would like. By weeks end I had lost 6 lbs so I am of course hoping for the same thing this time but because I am starting at a lighter weight that may be different to. And one thing I do remember form the start last time is the night before I started I had a big carboload. I didnt do that for the last meal this time
