I need someone to look at my menu to see if I'm doing something wrong. I started Atkins in late June at 289 I'm now at 264.5. I've only lost and gained the same 2 pounds in the last 6-7 weeks.
BF 2 eggs with 1 ounce of colby, cheddar or mozzarella 2 strips of bacon or sausage without sugar
L 2 chicken breast , 2 pork chops fish or 2 hamburger patties salad with cheese and lettuce or 1-2 cups of cauliflower, broccoli, spinach or okra
D the same as lunch
Snack roast beef with slice of swiss cheese or cream cheese and pork rinds sometimes
I drink between 120-160 oz of water per day
I'm 5'6.5 tall medium build, I don't exercise as much as I should

A mistake is not the end unless you say it is

Looks to me like you need more carbs... Have the cup of veggies WITH the salad for both lunch and dinner, instead of one or the other..

Yes.. Especially if you started in June. You should be at a relatively high level of carbs, if you've increased them by 5/day every week. Up your carbs, and you should start losing again.. But, up them with quality veggies..

It looks okay to me. You could probably add more carbs to it, preferably something with roughage. I think you just have to keep waiting for a whoosh.

Angel, I am the same way with my weight loss.

I think your menu looks fine also, but you may want to try more veg carbs and see what happens.

Pork rinds and cheese seem to cause me to stall. I try to keep my intake of these low.

Your weight loss looks good to me. I have been doing this since April.

Good Luck!
