I've been sticking to Atkins to the letter for five weeks. Only eating unprocessed meat, so I know there isn't any hidden sugars/salt/carbs. No milk etc. Checking everything for hidden sugars.

I initially lost 4lbs of water weight very quickly but since then, nothing. I've been measuring waist/thighs/arms too and not a cm gone.

Daily diet is what is recommended. Eggs/meat/cream/oily fish/small amount of allowed salad and veg. I was eating 100g of cheese as recommended but cut it put last week incase it was causing a stall. No tea or coffee, no fizzy drinks, just lots of water.

I don't know what I am doing wrong and I'm getting fed up of spending a lot of my pretty abysmal weekly food budget on it!

I have two and a half stone to lose to get down to my target weight (BMI at my target would be 23) and have an op coming up which ideally I need to lose weight for (it's for nothing which would cause probs with weightloss, totally unrelated).

I feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall. I don't know what to do now in terms of diet.

Hi,

I have just read your thread and can relate to your situation 100%, I have been doing Atkins to the T for 17 days, I lost 4 pounds in 4 days, put a pound back on and haven't lost anything else.. I am also hungry!! I am getting such a lot of conflicting advice and am now so confused.. how did you get on adding more fat?
