[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 234081, member: 31282"] You should never be hungry on this diet, because protein and fat keep you fuller for longer than carbohydrates. Stick to the listed foods, and the amounts if I've given them - eg no more than 4 oz cheese daily, and no more than the given weights of veg/salad. If you do this you won't be eating too much, which is a difficult concept for those of us who think [i]'weight loss diet = starvation'[/i]! :lol: Make sure the carbs aren't creeping in with the odd oatcake or Ryvita - they are not included in the Induction Phase by Robert Atkins! There are some people who don't seem to lose weight on the diet - a very few, and I have no idea why. :? . Did you take your measurements before you started? measure chest/bust. waist, hips, upper arm and upper thigh, every week, and see if you are shedding inches instead of pounds. This can happen, and all of a sudden the scales will catch up. As long as you are content with the diet, stick with it and see what happens. As I've said before, I'm not obsessing with my weight this time, just my BGs. Weight loss for me is something of a side-effect :) . I've lost 4 stone in 18 months, and am now about 17st 7lbs. This is much slower than the first time around, and I think it should stay off longer this time. But of course - I can't go back to my old ways of eating, so maybe this time the weight loss will be permanent. I told you diabetes had been good for me :lol: :clap: Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
