    How much expected to lose during induction?

    I am 5'4" and i didn't start overweight. Im wondering if i will lose less than others during induction because of that. I have already lost 6 so i shouldnt really worry... i am just curious. Let me know!

    Since you've only got 22 lbs to lose, you could expect to lose 5-10% of that during the first 14 days. That would be 2.2 lbs. Since you've already lost 6, that's just FABULOUS! Congratulations!

        AS others have said - you are doing Great!!

        After your 14 days induction make sure you move on to the next phase of Atkins to learn how to eat once you have reached goal while losing the rest of your excess poundage!
        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
        Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

          I lost about 7 pounds in the first 2 weeks, and ultimately took off 35. Everybody's different, but I hope that helps!
