Looking over your menu, I'm going to be real honest, in my opinion, you need more FAT! Many have the misconception Atkins is a high protein plan when in reality, Atkins is a high fat plan.
Do you like eggs? Eggs cooked in butter, omelets or hard boiled eggs make a great breakfast! Add a few links of breakfast sausage or a few slices of bacon
Use oil & vinegar on your salad or a creamy ranch or bleu cheese or ceasar dressing. You can even add some sliced hard oil egg & some bacon to your salad to add more fat. You might also want to consider some raw veggies in your salad from the acceptable foods list. On Induction, you should be getting 12-15 of your 20 carbs for the day from veggies & salads. You may want to consider a small salad with your dinner in addition to the green beans you're already eating.
When you say "cheese sticks", I'm going to assume you're referring to string cheese. Each stick is 1 oz., the limit for cheese on Induction is 3-4 ozs. If you're having 2 in the morning and another 2 as snacks, you've reached the limit for the day. Cheese is a known common "staller" (for me included).....so, you may want to limit cheese.
Splenda should be limited to 3 packets per day. Splenda, although prefered on Atkins, does cause stalling in some people.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Don't beat yourself up over losing 2 lbs or 2 inches....you are doing just great!!!
It's basically trial & error to find what works for you....and trust me, with time, patience and persistance, you will
All the best to you!!!
