I am doing something wrong, I'm not losing any weight and my clothes are feeling uncomfortable (tighter). I'm beginning to feel very depress. I'm keeping a journal to make sure I'm on track. I need HELP I make sure of the following.

I drink 66oz of water per day
20 grams of carbo
2 raw cups vegs
2/3 cooked vegs
Cheese-max 4 oz
Eggs max 3
No nitrates or nitrites in my meats
No Caffeine
No Aspartame
No foods with ingredients that end in ose (hidden sugars)
Exercise- walk 4 days per week 3 miles


I believe I'm eating to much FAT.
PLEASE ADVISE

Are your 2 cups of raw veggies salad type veggies? It would help more if you posted a couple of days worth of menus - type of food and amount. Have you put the info into www.fitday.com? You need to be eating 10-12 calories for every pound you currently weigh. Eating above or below this range can slow/stop weight loss.

Thanks for replying. My vegs include vegs out of Dr. Atkins book.
New diet revolution pg 97. 10% carboas or less. I'm eatin to much fat so I'm wearing the middlesection of my body.
I don't want to change diet because I like Atkins wof and it's e-z to follow.

Hi,
I have a question..., the 2 cups of raw veg., is that in addition to the salad? Maybe I just mis-understood but are you sure your total carb intake is less than 20 grams of carbs? Either I don't understand or perhaps you're misreading pg. 95. He says 2 cups of salad plus 2/3 cups cooked vegs. in the below 10% carb. category . The 2 cups have to be the salad vegs.

Atriana is right, I'd try www.fitday.com to make sure.

Hope we get this figured out soon!

Post what you are eating, exactly. We can take a good look and then maybe offer some more concrete advice.

Levee - the cheese was stalling me somewhat - I went to 2 oz or less per day and it seems to be helping - I don't feel as bloated, either. Also, you might want to look at that "bloated" feeling and see if it is not a reaction to a food - I found that I have an intolerance to eggs, especially hard boiled (though I can eat them fried or scrambled, and they don't seem to bother me as much - don't know what that is, but it is )

There's good advice above - write down a couple days of exactly what you're eating through the day - AND how much water you're drinking.

I agree with Sh'ra. It was cheese and cream cheese that were keeping me at the same weight. I quit all caffeine (no more diet drinks) and the cheese and started losing again, even though slowly. When I was honest in fitday.com, I saw where the carbs were really comng from. Let us know. Susan
