Hello,
I started Dr. Atkins diet one month ago. I am through withdrawal and as of now am flour, sugar, and caffeine free. I do not have any cravings and am adhering to the strict induction diet. I purchased the ketosis strips and am burning fat I am in the moderate range. Now the problem is unfortunately, no weight loss. Prior to this diet I did weight watchers for 22 months. I initially lost 30 pounds. I regained 10 pounds during a medical problem. I went back to WW gaining 10 pounds. I continued following the point system even dropping back to the lower points to gain another 3 pounds in three months. I was getting discouraged so decided for a change. I am not gaining weight, just not loosing. I am not on any prescription meds. I am using Just lots of supplements as I am doing a liver detoxify through Custom Homeopathic in Canada, as a way of helping my Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Any suggestions would be so appreciated
hugs Martha

no, not much going on here. I have seen that flare-ups seems to coincide with SAD, so I imagine everyone is starting to not feel so good.

I take Effexor and it is a life-saver. I am much more able to cope.

I am afraid that I do have an answer for your weight loss issues though. I have never had a problem losing weight on Atkins, I just have a problem getting started. You may want to post on the general low carb or Atkins boards to see if you get any help.
