Hi everyone! I'm new here.
I just started the Atkins diet a week ago and I've lost 5lbs so far. For once in my life, I've finally found the will power to do this. I'm determined this time (maybe a bit too determined) to lose this weight.
My problem is, I'm worried that I'm not eating enough to continue to lose weight (or maybe I'm just being impatient.) Let me know what y'all think. I just feel like the weight should be coming off faster.
Here is a typical day for me:
Breakfast: Atkins shake OR 2 slices of bacon & 2 eggs
Snack: raw veggies & water with crystal light added.
Lunch: If I didn't have the shake in the morning, I have one for lunch. Otherwise, I have a side salad with 2 Tbs ranch, grilled chicken or steak. & water to drink.
Snack: Hot green tea with Splenda, 1 slice of cheese, piece of a red pepper or some other raw veggie.
Dinner: Big salad with cucumber, tomatoes, red pepper, 2 Tbs Ranch with grilled steak or chicken.
OR I might just have a hamburger pattie, slice of cheese with a side salad.
