Default Atkins to jumpstart more weightloss, how soon should I expect?

So I have been on a diet for six weeks, and am this has been a successful journey so far! I have lost 22 pounds, which most is probably water and such. I wanted to see if the Atkins diet would kick start more weight loss by cutting out the carbs. So I have not seen anything significant? Is it because I have already lost the water weight and that is the majority of the weigh loss in induction. Just curious!

There's a lot more to atkins than just cutting out carbs. Post what you've been eating and maybe some of the more senior members can comment. 3 days on Atkins and some people MIGHT be seeing changes, but everyone is different.

I'm told the big weight loss you would usually see at the beginning is water weight so as you have already lost that you may not see such a big difference, but you should still be able to lose more weight. I lost 4 lbs in my first week. I am expecting it to slow down to about 2-3lbs a week now and after induction. As you said it is only day three, I'm on day ten. I weigh in every Friday and sometimes do a sneaky weigh on Tuesday while my bf is at work, lol, but I don't record that one.
