Hi Jaseofbase,

There are a number of things that could be going on.

First, do you trust your scale? Is it one of those digital scales that gives you a different weight everytime you step on it, even within five minutes?

Second, if you are doing high intensity exercise almost every day, you are building muscle which is a very good thing! You will lose body fat much faster when you have more muscle. However, muscle weighs more than fat, so if you are losing fat and gaining muscle, the scale will read it as a weight gain. Ignore it! If that's what's happening, your clothes will feel more loose, your body will feel tighter and more toned. You've lost fat and that's the important thing, not your weight. Don't stop exercising--a muscular body requires a lot more calories than a non-muscular body, so you will burn more calories and fat every day if you have more muscle. It will get you where you want to go in the long run.

Third, you could be taking in hidden carbs. Some of the culprits are salad dressings, catsup and other condiments; sugar in processed foods like hot dogs and sausages and peanut butter; and milk in your coffee.

If you're following the Atkins Induction rules, it is highly unlikely that you are actually putting on a pound of body fat per day.

You could post the foods you've been eating if you'd like more detailed advice. Good luck!
