Why, yes I am. I've been on Induction for 30 days and not making a dent. Any suggestions? I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Found a site with a ton of low-carb recipes, so I decided to try out a few that are safe for Induction. Here's today's plan:

Breakfast:
Sausage quiche (2g)
coffee w/Splenda & heavy cream (1g)

Lunch:
Italian Meatball Burger (5g)
Salad mix (3g)
1/4 c mushrooms (1g)
Blue cheese dressing (1g)

Dinner:
Pork & Green Pepper Stir Fry (5g)
Salad mix (3g)
Goat cheese (1g)
Ranch dressing (2g)
Bacon (0)

On Atkins Induction, cheese is limited to 3-4 ozs per day. Cheese seems to be a common staller for a lot of people, myself included. I found I personally do much better when I limit cheese to 1-2 ozs.
The majority of your carbs (12-15 of your 20 for the day) should be coming from veggies & salads on the acceptable foods list.
My suggestion would be to severely limit the cheese and add more veggies or another salad with dinner.
All the best to you!!:)

The scale is finally moving. I've decreased the amount of cheese I'm eating and it seems to be working. Here's today's plan:

Breakfast:
Sausage quiche
Tea w/Splenda

Lunch:
Salad mix
Ham
Asiago Cheese
Mushrooms
Ranch dressing

Snack:
Vanilla Atkins shake

Dinner:
Big Mac in a Bowl

Total carbs: 22

Can't seem to get off this plateau. I've tried decreasing the amount of cheese I'm eating, with no success. After losing only 5 pounds in April, I'm going to try another diet plan. Atkins just does not work for me.
