Selfcare, if you were doing Atkins beforehand, then usually people see a gain in the first week, so you are okay maintaining for now. Don't panic. I think it's okay what you are doing. Just make sure your calories are not out of line, have your 8 glasses of water and do exercise. You can use fitday.com to figure out your calories for the day to get an idea at least.... Keep meals moderate in the sense that the 2 CM meals are small and the main meal does not leave you positively "stuffed", if you know what I mean. Keep the faith, because people have lost 100 lbs and more on this plan. It is a yummy plan!!
