Hello Susan and welcome to the board. Sorry you are feeling fuzzy but would you please turn off the Key Caps for your posts? That is known as "yelling" when used on bulletin boards. Much appreciated. It's also very hard to read.

Your stated plan is interesting. Did you mean "Atkins" and you are doing Induction? If so, then all you have to do is follow the rules in the book.

You might need to raise your carb amounts by 5 grams to 25 grams to handle the brain fog. Just eat more veggies and salad.

The cheese is limited to hard (not processed) cheese like real Cheddar or brick, and only 2 ounces per day of that. An ounce is a cube measuring 1 inch on each side. Don't use Velveeta, Cheez Whiz, soft cheese like Brie or cream cheese on Induction.

The foods you eat during Induction are the same for everyone but the results may not be.
--Men lose more and faster than women. --Post-menopausal women lose slowly.
--People who have been on low cal or low fat diets may lose slower for a while.
--You may be losing inches but not pounds to begin with. If you have been doing low cal for a while, you may be short of protein and now your body is grabbing all it can to make overdue repairs. Measure lots of body parts & keep track, or notice how your clothes fit.

I hope the nasty scales start to move soon for you.
