Atkins - Urine/Breath

Hey everyone!
Yesterday was my first day on Atkins. I already feel a difference. Yesterday my husband asked me if I was ready for him to grill up some dinner... I told him no. I just didn't have an appetite and I wasn't hungry. Yesterday went well... stayed under 20 carbs with foods only allowed on induction by Dr. Atkins himself.:) I thought it took ay least 48 hours to go into Ketosis... But my breath is already different. I woke up and I thought it was just odd tasting morning breath. I brushed my teeth and it's still there. Then this morning when I woke up & went to the bathroom, my urine had a different smell.. almost sweet. I thought maybe it was just an odd/strong morning urine. I've since urinated and it's still the sweet smell.
Also, I am a scale addict. Even when I am not eating healthy, I am on the scale. I have probably weighed myself every day for the past few years.:( So this morning I got on the scale, and I was 205.4. Yesterday, I was 209. How is that possible? My scale is very accurate and it's digital. I know it isn't fat and probably all water, but isn't that a lot of water weight to lose in one day?!?!?!

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth....if your scale says you've gone from 209 to 205.4....be glad and rejoice:carrot: Of course its water...but...its gone, thats the important thing!
As for the ketosis thing...personally, I think ketosis is as individual as weight loss....different pace for everyone. I lost over 100 lbs., yet everytime I tried one of those ketostix....according to them, I was never in ketosis:shrug: Carry on, you're doing great!!!:)

WTG! I always heard great things about ATKINS but unfortunately, I am born a vegetarian and cannot eat meat due to religious as well as personal reasons, but good luck with your goals!

Thanks so much for the support Kim & Niru!

Good job!

I havent noticed the ketone breath but I do have the ketostix that turn pink most of the time for me. Plus when I work out hard I smell like amonia (that's also ketone release).

I agree w Kim, celebrate the quick drop in the scale!
