Hi to everyone,
I am a senior medical student and i always had problems with my weight.
Is very hard to control my dietary habbits when i am at home,so imagine how hard it is studying abroad and try to keep a balanced diet as well!
I come from Cyprus,a meditteranean island,and my diet has always been consisted of high-carb foods and now with the huge load of medical studies junk-foods assumed a part too.
I decided since this will be my final year(hopefully :cool: ) to get rid of the extra weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
I carefully studied Atkins and it does make a lot of sense from a medical point of view so i started doing it 10 days ago.
I eliminated: bread,pasta,rice,potatos from my diet as well as alcohol and other soft drinks and fruits too.
I stick to meat and salads mainly,i use mayo a lot,and a eat a fair amount of salad with every meal.
I do fry a lot and my appetite is very strong :agree: .
One problem though...It's been 10 days and i haven;t noticed any weight loss yet :help: !!!
My appetite has not decreased (i could say it rather increased even!) and most of the day i fell bloated..
Am i doing something wrong??? I have to invent what to cook keveryday,,i don't count my carb-intake but then again is mainly meat and salad..
Any ideas what might be the problem?
Thanx in adavance for youe support and guidance.
