Atkins Low Carbohydrate Diet - Week 13

A smaller reduction of only 0.7kg this past week, but I'm not grumbling. My weight is now (as at Sunday 14th September) 76.8kg, a reduction of 21.2kg since I began (or 46.7lb) - I have 11.8kg to reach my target of 65kg. Measurement indicators for the week continue to show reasonable, although smaller, reductions:
- waist down a further 0.2 inches to 35.0 inches (total reduction so far 10 inches);
- hips down 0.3 inches to 42.3 inches (total reduction so far 6.2 inches);
- thighs down 0.1 inches to 23.9 inches (total reduction so far 4.6 inches).

I'm making some adjustments to my diet; basically a slight raising of my salad/vegetable intake and a reduction of my cheese intake, coupled with increased fibre intake - anyone familiar with Atkins' diet principles will understand what this is all about. I've also added some more nutrient supplements to my daily intake, at this stage vitamin B complex and vitamin E, to add to those I take already - I have recently started to study closely Atkins' book on "Vita-nutrient solutions" and although I was initially VERY sceptical of these ideas have come to believe that some parts, at least, are well worth following.
