Help: Worried after 2 Days!

Re: Help: Worried after 2 Days!

Update: I'm doing very well. I'm fighting the urge to weigh, but my ketostix reading is deep purple. If my efforts are reflected on the scale when I weigh on Saturday (can't wait any longer, guys) then I will be estatic.

Now a question: Now that I've really reached ketosis, what should I expect in terms of actual weight loss? I have to admit that I've used about half the box of keostix I bought Saturday afternoon in a effort to track my progress. I pee on that little strip twice a day and while I know that's probably excessive, the positive reinforcement keeps me on track.

Today, I went to lunch at this family diner near where I work. I love breakfast anytime of day and usually get coffee, a Denver omelet, hashbrowns, and my favorite, PANCAKES. Today, I had a spinach bacon and monterey cheese omelet and a couple sausage links. No coffee, hashbrows, or pancakes. I have to admit I'm very proud of myself. I really hope to lose a few pounds by Saturday.

This lifestyle isn't half bad so far!

That sounds like a great choice carling! At our little diners here in florida, I always ask for sliced tomatoes instead of the potatos/toast. Yum.

You know, each person is different, as far as their weight loss goes. It will be what it will be. Trust that this is an excellent eating plan for weight loss and for cardiovascular health...Dr. Atkins was a heart doctor! I know that isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's truth. Everyone's weight loss is going to be different. Some people don't lose ANYTHING in induction, then move on to ongoing weight loss and started losing steadily. Some lose a lot in the first two weeks and nothing in the next two. Some lose inches and no pounds. It will be what it will be for YOU.
