Atkins shakes? Coffee?

[Otto's Doll]

Uh oh.. I have been reading through various threads, and I have a few questions (my weight loss has stalled for the last week and a half, due to TOM.. I think??)

1) I know that Atkins bars will stall weight loss, but what about the Atkins shakes? I was using them for breakfast or in between breakfast and lunch at work.

2) Is Coffee okay? (Decaf) (I drink all my h20 also)

3) Will Splenda cause a stall??

Thanks in advance for all your help...

Each day I drink a shake, eat a bar and splenda is in the DaVinci Syrups that I put in selzer water. They don't seem to stall my weight loss. I think you may want to try cutting them out for a while and see what happens.
Good Luck

Check out the KISS challenge. I have had FABULOUS results after being stuck for almost 3 months! This week I've finally dropped 6 pounds in the first 3 days! It might be just what you need to get yourself going again. Try KISSing for 2 weeks then add back ONE item each week to see if it stalls you. Items like artifical sweetners, cheese, bars, shakes, etc can stall some people.

Can you tell me more about KISS pls - as I have also stalled and could do with something to get me going again.

Thanks

We have a KISS Challenge (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=443946) going on right now. On the challenge thread you will find a link to the KISS 'rules'. It is very much just the basics. eggs, non processed meats, low carb veggies, some fats in the form of olive oil, butter and mayo. No processed meats like bacon, ham, sausage, hot dogs, etc -- NO cheese, no dairy [like cream, cream cheese etc], NO artificial sweetners.

I have had cream a couple times and a couple diet soda's.

I lost 6 pounds since monday on this plan.

The atkins bars have never stalled our weight loss.

The atkins shakes...not very good at all...we threw them out.

Splenda does not cause a stall...you only use one pack a day while induction..and yep, that means one cup of decaf..I am not even sure that you should have that much, as we are following induction and green tea is recommended in the atkins books with 1T cream and one pack sweetener in it. We use splenda.
