Hi I’m just wondering if any atkins experts out there can help me. I’m in day 6 on induction and so far haven’t lost any weight, in fact according to the scales, I seem to have gained some. Also the tape measure is not changing. I know its not the end of the 2 weeks yet but if I’m starting to think maybe the diet, or the diet stage, isnt for me because of my weight.

Ok so I’m 5’3 and weigh 125 pounds/9stone but I’m hoping to lose my extra weight for my mums 60th birthday in June, so I want to be down to about 115. So I know that it will take a long time to lose weight but I just think maybe the diet is making me gain it. Here is an example of my daily menu

Breakfast:

Scrambled eggs with 2 Eggs
2 slices of grilled bacon

Lunch:
Salmon or chicken grilled
Cheese 2 egg omelette
Cup of salad – lettuce/cucumber

Snacks
Some cheese
Bits of cooked chicken

Dinner:
Grilled chicken seasoned
1 cup of veg or salad
Cheese

I drink 2 litres of water a day, sometimes more and I run or swim and workout most days.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
