This big of an effect?

[Grant]

Hi all, I have been doing atkins for 4 weeks now. After the first two weeks I was losing a steady .5 pounds a day almost like clockwork (I'm doing extended induction)and was very happy with that. 3 days ago though I started taking the vitanutrients that DANDR recommends for weight loss. A one-a-day type pill, chromium, L-Carnitine and CoQ10, an essential oils pill containing flaxsseed, fish oil and borage oil. Since I started taking those I've averaged 1 pound loss per day.

My questions is, is it possible the pills helped that much that fast or is it more likely that I just hit a normal quick drop time? I can't imagine the day you start taking they could affect you that much but on the other hand I haven't really changed my diet or exercise plans, so I just have to wonder.

It's possible, but you never know. My first time around during the first two months I was averaging about a pound to a pound and a half a day. Size and weight wise you are about where I was then (and unfortunately are again). Just remember weight loss is not linear, it will slow. And BTW 46 pounds in 4+ weeks is awesome, great job so far.

Great job, Grant! And yes, I believe its possible! I believe ANYTHING Dr. Atkins said!

Certainly. L-Carnitine supports protein metabolism and weight loss. Dr. Atkins RAVED about it, and said it was the vita-nutrient he personally took the most of.
