Hi everybody, would really value some opinions on my dilema.
I'm just into my 5th week of Atkins. At first my losses were great but have slowed right down. I promised myself I'll carry on til the end of the month but thinking of switching over to Dukan. I bought the Atkins and Dukan books at the same time, read both and decided on Atkins, mainly for the cheese! But now am finding I can't stomach the grease anymore! I can't face cheese, butter, mayonnaise or cream. I'm desperate for a yoghurt for breakfast and a cup of ordinary tea! And a bigger variety of vegetables and salad. I still have a lot to loose so feel really disapointed that I seem to have stalled already. The last 2 weeks I have basically stayed the same. It feels like I need to do something different. I lost 4 stone with WW a few years ago but put it all back on so I'm committed to doing the low carb thing long term.
What do you all think? When I went on the Dukan website it said my true weight was 12st 1lb, which seems right, and to do a 3 day attack, but as I've already lost water weight and I think I'm still in ketosis, would the same still apply?
Thanks in advance everyone!
