How much to expect?
 

I am starting the atkins tomorrow and was just wondering how much I should expect to loose in the (at least) two weeks of induction. I don't want to have my hopes up too high. Thank you so much

Hate to tell you this...but there's really no "set" amount a person can lose. Or I should say everyone is different. It all depends on a whole lot of different things.

Chelsea Welcome and good luck!

Brenda is right, it varies from person to person.

I think it the book the Dr. gives a sort of general range based on how insulin resistant you are and how much you need to lose- it was something like 6 to 12 pounds....I've known people who lost 2 and I know people who lost 20....welcome

Hi Chelsea :wave: I lost about 16 pounds the first two weeks, and that felt great. I followed everything in the book exact. Oh, but I only limited my coffee--didn't give that up! LOL :coffee: Now I'm starting again since I didn't stay on it very well, kept adding things I shouldn't have, but since I know it can be done, helps. Welcome and happy Atkins dieting! :high:
