Omigosh, I fell off the wagon!!! Not just a little, but a full face-plant fall off. I'm not even going to tell you how much I gained over the past couple of days. Are there any tips or tricks to get it off faster? I'm so mad!

Drink tons of water and eat lots of veggies - protein drinks- and even more water!
Just picked up Ketone test strips and tested for the first time. They show I have a moderate ketone level which means I am following the Atkins low carb plan correctly.
Okay I'm struggling now and do not know why? Ever since I increased by calories to 1500 and 25 nc and gained back 2 lbs I have not been able to stay at the 1250-1300 calories I was in the beginning. So I pulled all my days prior from my fitness pal to see what all I ate to lose the 7lbs. So frustrating, I thought I had this but now I'm not so sure.

Another Great day on plan. I do all of the cooking at home and my wife is not eating low carb. So I usually have to prepare two different meals. Our main meal today was easier. I cooked an Atkins friendly chuck roast with fresh steamed and buttered cauliflower. My wife also had a baked sweet potato but I passed on the starch. :
My Totals for 5/14/2015 are:
9g gross Carbs (NOT NET CARBS), 101g Fat, 83g Protein

rpm3060 My snacks vary usually one of these. Dill pickle, hard boiled egg, Pepperoncini pepper, radish, or cheddar cheese. I read the labels carefully on the pickles and peppers to make sure nothing is in there to affect my Atkins diet. I also make sure I count all carbs.
skelley331 Sorry you are struggling. Have you though about returning to induction for a few days? I see you are counting net carbs as Atkins suggests. I do not subtract fiber and my daily carb count is somewhere between 5 to 12 grams. Extremely low but I seem to do OK with that.
Candy In Alabama Sugar free Jello uses the artificial sweetener aspartame. I am following the 2002 Atkins book which warns me to not eat anything with that sweetner in it.
bigdog Do you make your own Beef Jerky? I looked up the ingredients in a typical commercial brand listed below. I love beef Jerky but it would destroy my Induction eating Plan. Teriyaki Beef Jerky: Ingredients: beef, sugar, water, soy sauce solids (wheat, soybeans, salt), salt, natural spices and flavoring, hydrolyzed soy protein, monosodium glutamate, garlic powder, guar gum,. polysorbate 80, caramel color powder, sodium nitrite.
WOW!! Down another 2 pounds this morning! :
That makes 19 pounds in 24 days. Mr Atkins!! :
My test strips still show a Moderate Ketone level. This is great. Now to keep it that way!!
