I think Im doing Atkins correctly, yet Im not losing weight or my weight loss has plateaued. What are some of the factors that could make that happen?
First, recognize that there may not be a problem at all. Different people will respond to Atkins differently; some consistently lose weight while others do so in stages. Don’t watch the scale and become overly concerned with short-term results. Also, make sure your expectations of weight loss are realistic. Atkins is designed to lead you to your natural ideal weight. For many people, that may still be more than they wish to weigh. We strongly recommend that you manage your expectations in a real and healthy way. Second, remember that success on Atkins should always be measured by more than just the scale.
