I'm new to the forum,but not to lc. I stayed on Atkins for quite a while about 5 or 6 years ago, lost 30 pounds and never looked or felt better. Went off and qained it back. Now I'm having a hard time losing. Probably not eating enough carbs , but don't have much of an appetite. Did you say the shakes are no good in induction? What about the russell stover candy bars that say they are .04 carbs?
Thanks for any info you can give me.

Some people have trouble with the shakes, and some don't. Fewer people seem to have trouble with the shakes than bars or candy, but you'll end up having to experiment most likely to find your triggers, or at least that's been my experience.
Also, I find when I'm drinking more water, I tend to do better, and I know a lot of other folks have reported that...Posted 01-05-2008 at 09:48 PM by Goddess

Things like the Russell Stover candies have maltitol, a sugar alcohol that can slow some people way down.
The only shakes I have are the ones I make with some whey protein powder, and usually only when I need a quick meal. And I totally avoid meal replacement bars. They stopped my losses cold. Besides, there's nothing like real food for making this way of eating superior!Posted 01-05-2008 at 10:32 PM by QueenMama - Hey, I'm new to this diet and posting. (Hope I'm doing this right) I have strictly stayed within the 20 carbs or less a day, and the first week was good. Lost 10 lbs, but this week the scale says I gained 3 back! Can digital scales be wrong, or am I missing something here?Posted 02-07-2008 at 11:05 PM by gosouth
- hey gosouth. welcome to lce!
In short, weight can fluctuate even several pounds in a single day, so one particular scale readout don't mean squat. don't let it scare ya...
