Good morning NSND,
I can tell you that when I thought I was stuck, I contacted the nutritionist at Atkins, and I was quite surprised at the response I got, my advise is to hang in, keep on keepin' on, you will get there, but here is what they had to say for what it is worth to you, best of luck to you...PS they also said it is not really a plateau until there is NO weight loss for, I think she said 6 weeks....

Thank you for contacting Atkins Nutritionals.

I thought the following things we hear the most often when people say they've plateaued, not been as successful losing weight or gained weight might help you get back on track:

1. eating less than 18 net carbs in a day
2. not getting the 12-15 net carbs from vegetables everyday (that’s approximately 6 cups of leafy greens and 2 cups of cooked vegetables)
3. too many artificial sweeteners/sugar free foods
4. too few calories: for women it should be 1500-1800, for men it should be 1800-2200
