could be your allergies are causing you to retain fluids since an inflamed immune system will add fluids to the tissues it is working on. that could be your bloat issue.

Also drinking more water will actually help you release the water.
Hang in there. The atkins will work if you work it and that is the issue with redoers they don't work their Atkins plan like they did the first time cause in their brains they know it will work and take sloppy shortcuts. Remember exercise is a mandatory part of the atkins plan so be sure you are doing both the aerobic and the resitants parts. IN DANDR chapter 15 Dr Atkins actually says if you are not exercising you are not doing his plan and he has a whole chapter on exercise.

Hey "2big"....

Actually I read some posts from earlier this year, where they were discussing intestinal candida. I did the saliva test they mentioned and it came out positive, which completely explains the sudden bloating. And I think I know what did it - candida feeds off alcohol...and I had a straight vodka martini on Friday for my birthday and one last night at dinner with a long lost friend (albeit following all the other induction rules to a "T"). Thus, I woke up very bloated and looking like double the size I was at 2 days ago! I thought I had been shrinking, then suddenly it was like I became 6 months pregnant over night!!

So, just to make darn sure I am doing everything I can, I am going to GNC tomorrow and getting a candida cleanse and follow the list of suggested foods to avoid to control it as well. And no more alcohol for me! Damn little candida critters rained on my parade!

And yes, I do exercise...I ride my stationary bike and chase my dog, as well as clean my house like a mad woman!

Need to add... at least 40 minutes on treadmill or elliptical daily, and 64 oz water. I have been in Induction for 3 weeks, and have lost 10 lbs in first 10 days but nothing since. I find if I lower my protein counts I get shaky.
Thanks for any suggestions...

I have no idea what the numbers after your foods are but coffeemate isn't induction legal

and what is

your veggies and proteins looks great

it is very normal to do exactly what you are experieincing on the scales on any weight loss plan Atkinseers even call it PISS.
check your inches and you should see you are still shedding body fat as you work your Atkins to Morph your body even when the scales don't validate your hard work.

Hang in there and see what happenes in a week. you might try adding some more water.

congrats on starting that mandatory exercise part of your atkins too.
