Should I be concerned?

I'm a 31 year old male that was up to 254lbs, I decided to start trying to live a little better. So I started Atkins a week ago, it's been going really well. I've lost 9lbs, yes I know it's water weight, but I still feel pretty good.

I've been doing real well with staying near or under 20g of carbs, and since I used to eat an entire meals worth of food every couple of hours I'm concerned. I've noticed this weekend (which is when I always always ate the most) that I'm very content with just 3 decent sized meals in a day.

I know that's the goal but it seemed awfully quick...

I guess what I'm wondering is, does that seem normal? Dumb question I know...lol...never dieted before, always just ate what I wanted.

Well thanks.

Hi binarygod. I am a female and I ate not stop before. Never felt full. That happened to me also. Sometimes I have to force myself to eat eat the third meal. Im working my way up to eating breakfast, snack, lunch, snack and dinner. LIttle meals. Keep us informed on how your doing!! We can do this togeter!!

Wow! Congratulations! As it was suggested to me, start a progress thread and we can all keep up with each other there. This is not only a change in eating habits, but a change in thinking and the more to talk to the merrier and the easier it makes this journey.

Thanks all! I'm glad the appetite went away, I felt horrible knowing I was eating all the time, it was just odd to have it happen so suddenly
