Post Atkins Board #7

Starting a new thread as the other one is so long.

How is the Atkins crew this morning? Please let me know-there are so many I haven't heard from lately

I will complete the first week of induction today!
I feel great and the scale is really starting to move.
Which brings me to my question- What type of scales are you guys using? I had an old fashioned kind of scale and went and bought a digital scale. I know that my old scale was a little off but compared to my new one is was very off! So, now I have really no idea how much weight I have lost! Are you finding the digital scales are a good way to go? Or did I just waste my money!

I bought the Digital Scale but wasn't happy with it because it was too inaccurate. The Healthometer Professional scale was was suggested. I bought it a year ago and so far it is accurate. Even when it shows that I have gained it is right. My weight is the same at home and in the doctors office.

Well I hope I haven't made a mistake. I paid a lot for it. Hopefully some of our other Atkins friends will share what they are using as well. Hint, Hint...

Hiya friends!

I'm not sure whether this is the appropriate place for me to pop in to ask my question, because I'm not on Atkins exactly, but I do watch my carb balance pretty closely. So here's what I'm wondering:

I'm experiencing a good deal of gastro upset/pain lately, from lots of painful churning and lower-abdomen bloating, to what feels like trapped intestinal gas. LOL, sorry if that's a little more than you wanted to know.

The only dietary change I've made is a bit of extra fiber, high Splenda intake (Diet Rite, coffee/tea, cooking). I've also experimented with some low-carb pre-packaged items (Atkins muffin mix, Keto hot cereal/pancake mix, La Tortilla Factory tortillas, Boca burgers, etc.) ALL of which contain lots and lots of soy. I don't tolerate veggies like lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower well, so I don't eat them...so I know it's not that sort of issue.

Any ideas/experiences/opinions with these products, gals? Could it be the soy, or is it more likely something else, like the artificial sweetener (although I thought Splenda wouldn't cause an upset), or something else altogether?

Thanks ladies if ya have any input.
