Re: new to atkins
I would agree that 11 pounds by day 8 is terrific
As the others said, weightloss can be sporadic, so dont worry about daily fluctuations.
Better to stay off the scales till day 15 if it is likely to upset you!!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!
