Maybe I have been over compensating for the hungry feeling that carbs used to fill by eating too bigger portions? Should I be following general diet rules of a piece of meat as big as your palm etc? hmmm, trying to get my head around it all, when I read others diet plans I seem to comparable. I also wake up with a yucky taste in mouth, can't seem to find anything on here about that? And one more question, is fluid retention an issue, drinking loads of water but pissing average amounts...  |
If you are doing Atkins, there is no portion control on the legal foods. You can eat as much meat or eggs as you want. Be sure and get in your salads or veggies each day. Eating some sunflower kernels will help with the constipation or eating a dill pickle seems to help. Sometimes when we first start out, we actually gain weight because our body is adjusting to the radical food changes we have made, but that weight gain is temporary--if you eat enough, you will start losing. And make sure you eat enough fats, so you won't get constipated.
