I'm very frustrated. Been on induction for three weeks and only lost 7
pounds - which I can usually lose just by cutting out beer for a few days.
I
am still 287lbs and so 7lbs is negligible in 3 weeks.

My alcohol consumption has been almost nil compared to my usual six pints
a
day plus a bottle of wine (too much I know). When I have partaken it's
only
been a few glasses of white wine or Gin & slimline tonic and only for
three
out of 21 days. I certainly haven't had a "bender" in the last three
weeks -
for the first time in my adult life I've not even drank the maximum
recommended weekly amount of 21 alcohol units whereas I usually do that
daily!

So, putting alcohol mostly out of the way let's look at food:-

Breakfast: 2 rashers of back bacon, one or two sausages, mushrooms. Cooked
on a George Foreman grill. Two scrambled eggs with a little semi-skimmed
milk. Dollop of Ketchup/brown sauce.

Lunch: Tunamayo or Philadelphia light on 3 Rivita.

Dinner. Choice of Chicken breast/Salmon steak/Rump steak/Lean Chilli
Concarne without kidney beans, served with selection of mushrooms, green
beans, perhaps two or three baby potatoes-boiled in skin or Low Carb Penne
Pasta -
No bread, mashed potatoes, cakes, pies.
No more than 25g of carbs in total foods per day (I started at 295 lbs so
surely the extra 5 grams wouldn't stop induction working! would it?) .

Tea & coffee - semiskimmed milk, one third teaspoon sugar - total five
cups
per day.

Water - three litres - maybe more, sipped throughout the day - I like it,
it's not a problem.

Exercise:- Walk a mile or more a day to shops OR cycle 4 miles a day plus
Gym - medium weights twice a week.

If I wasn't dieting I'd be taking more calories in total by alcohol and
not
by food as I'd only eat musseli for breakfast, snack on wholemeal salad
sandwiches and fruit and eat lean meat with jacket potatoes & veg for
dinner
(with regular 14" Pizzas).

So, very few carbs as recommended, less calories due to virtually no
alcohol, reasonable exercise yet fewer "healthy foods such as fruit,
grains
& vegetables AND only 7lbs in 21 days.

HELP, I feel I'd be better off not eating the high calorie breakfast and
increasing my metabolism with wholegrains albeit keeping a Low-GI diet.

Any ideas please, I've lost 14lbs a month for three months before and the
only common factor seems to be cutting out the high fat & calories which
is
not what Atkins etc is all about.

If you actually do go on a low carb diet and cut alcohol from your diet, you
won't lose weight immediately.

Alcohol is a diuretic. That means it burns water weight from your body.
Eventually you will lose the water weight. Ever notice that when you drink
alcohol you pee a lot more and feel bad (hangover) the next day? All that
is is dehyration.

Cut the carbs and the alcohol. It will take time for your system to adjust,
but it will do just that. You can add the alcohol later when your body
acclimates to your new lifestyle.

Chilli Concarne

"Concarne" means "over rice". Rice is not allowed.

Con carne means 'with meat'.

and "carne" is the word stem for "carnival", which is known by everybody who has
read the important works of Lemony Snicket.

LOL close I grew up in PA. I never understood the whole rice with Chili

but then I'm not that big on rice.

It would have been easy for any of us "low carbers" to post the rules of
induction, but I think that part of your new lifestyle is ***making an
effort to change*** and that would be to read the Atkins New Revolution book
yourself. The whole plan can also be found at www.atkins.com, but get the
book and read it till it sinks in.

Extreme success with tiny effort, and you're frustrated.
Sigh. Many newbies have unrealistic expectations and
sure enough so do you.

Been on induction

Actually looking at your menu you have not been on
Induction for even a single day. Induction is something
specific and you don't show any sign that you've read
the book to know what Induction actually is.

Quoted message said:

for three weeks and only lost 7 pounds

Please explain to me how losing that much counts as
only. Be sure to reference the fact that the ideal
rate to keep it off is 1 per week and you lost at twice
that. Please reference the fact that the time scale
for loss is month to month so a single week has no
meaning. Be sure to use small words because I can be
quite dense when it comes to people so successfull
denying the reality of their own success.

Go do that then. Seriously.

Twice the ideal rate is not negligible.

Quoted message said:

My alcohol consumption has been almost nil

Several others have done over your menu in detail. It
has so many diversions from what Induction actually is
that you appear to be either a troll or someone who
wasn't even aware that Atkins is something specific
based on a book that has detailed instructions.

A single week is utterly meaningless. Wrong time scale.

Ok, I stand corrected. It always meant "over rice" in my high school
cafeteria.

Did they also tell you that "carnivore" means "rice eater"?

Have you heard of Prycena? A high protein calcium product with a natural
appetite suppresant and fat-burning properties. A great addition to a
low-carb diet....

Here is a video clip that aired recently on CBS news:

Happy reading!

no, but i've heard of spam.

yes calcium helps but Prycena ingredients are milk products and sugar-
cheese- good old cheese is a whole lot more fun to eat and less carbs- this
pill has carbs.

pill is very expensive also -not needed

Pardon me if this was answered already (I did not see it) but there are plenty
of things on your mealplan that are not allowed on induction:
- alcohol (period, not allowed at induction time)
- low carb pasta
- 2 rashers of bacon? Forgive me if I'm wrong but that sounds like a lot "The
term rasher can be confusing. It can mean a single strip of bacon, or
it can mean three or four strips of bacon, especially when it appears on a
restaurant menu." (which means a lot of calories and extra sodium = water
weight, and regardless of what Atkins says, calories do count)
-ketchup (regular ketchup? That has sugar and corn syrup in it- totally not
allowed)
-Philadelphia Light (why light? regular cream cheese has less carbs than light
if I recall)
- kidney beans (are you following Atkins? This totally isn't allowed!)
-potatoes (!!! you've got to be kidding me. Did you even read the book?)

There's NO way you've only been taking in 25g of carbs per day if you've been
consuming these things. I suggest you try using the program Fitday.com (it's
free) and enter in each and every thing you put in your mouth into this site.
Measure. Make sure you're getting your green vegetables. And whatever you do,
go buy DANDR ASAP!
