Hi all,

I am a totally fresh guinea pig. My husband and I, after reading the Atkins diet book decided to try LC's. I am currently 7 stone overweight (phew) a whole other person in here somewhere...my husband needs to lose about 3 stone. We started the atkins diet, with no slip ups about 11 days ago. Within the first 7 days I had lost 10lbs, amazing I thought. However we have both now 'stuck' we are not putting weight on but we haven't lost any more despite not radically changing our diet? Did anyone else have this experience? We think some restaurant may have sneaked some sugar into a salad dressing we had the other day - would this have done it? When it says no sugar allowed, does it mean absolutely none? I am gagging for a nice cappacino, so my husband bought me some strawberry herbal teas (as mint tea is gross) but it has 0.2g of sugar - could this have even done it?

Help, I still have a LONG way to go, does anyone know?
