I am so excited...
I couldn't stand it any longer and I went ahead and weighed today. I am down 11 pounds! :cb: I am very excited. I realize that I have made a few mistakes while on induction like eating a couple carrots and salsa (which crazily had sugar added). So, I am going to watch those, but I am sooo excited. Only 9 pounds to go to meet my End of May goal!

Not going to make it my friends! I am just not losing this month. Too many ups and downs. I will keep on trying and any loss will be good I guess.

Back on the bandwagon
I had kind of gotten off track for a week or so...went to the club and had a drink, ate some chinese, etc.... But, I have been back on track since Monday and I am back down to what I had weighed before, 215. So, only 5 pounds to go to meet my End of May challenge! I am glad to be back on the diet too, because I really started feeling crappy when I ate all those old foods again...

Net carbs?
Hi I am new to the atkins diet. But I was on it 30 yrs ago, and things have changed, Why do you only count the net carbs and do you still lose as fast as you in the first two weeks counting the net carbs only ,instead of all the carbs like I use to do when I was on it? Someone please help me.
My name stirfried, and I have already lost 10 lbs on the atkins diet but then I have counted all the carbs not just the net carbs. All I want to know is does it work as well by just counting the net carbs instead of all the carbs? Thank you weight 185 currant goal 175 final goal 140 :dizzy: |
stirfried: If you were counting the total carbs before no wonder you lost weight! You must have been starving.
You take the total carb and subract the fiber to come up with the net carbs. |
net carbs
Hi again
So I just subtract the fiber carbs and thats it? How fast do you lose the weight. I have seen at the stores like atkins chocolate bars or somrthing and it says its only 2 net carbs, wouldn't eating something like that defeat the purpose, I mean there are still all the sugar carbs no one is thinking about. I guess you still have to be careful of what you eat even if it says only 2 net carbs and the other carbs add up to 15 carbs. As long as I can still lose weight. I want to know how much weight you lose in a week and what kinds of things do you eat? Can I have the low carb bread with just adding the net carbs, as long as they don't go over 20-25 carbs aday? I seem to be making this harder than it probably i Stirfried |
stirfried: Get the book. You will find all the information you need. You can also check out www.atkins.com
We have a Frequently Asked Questions thread on this site as well. Some of use lose a little easier than others so it is hard to say how much you will lose in a week. Take the total carbs for example 12 grams of carbs and subtract the total fiber for example 6 grams of fiber. The total net carbs that you count will be 6. |
OK. I didn't realize how far I am off from my goal. I just don't think I'm going to get anywhere close to it! But, I do have a small loss to report: 1.75 pounds. I guess it's a start!

Oh well, any thing we lose is good. |
I am going to try my best to meet this challenge, however I don't think I'm going to be in the winners circle this round. My loss seems to have slowed down drastically. So adding in my little 1.5 lbs down this week.
