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!
  • I also forgot to mention it's only day 3 lol.
  • 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.
  • day 3 is when i notice a pd or 2 and after about 1 week 4-6 pds

    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.
