  • Water weight or actual pounds lost?

    I started induction on 9/18 and since have lost 12 pounds (very exciting). My start weight was 275 and I am now at 263. At what point do I stop losing water weight and start losing real pounds?
    Thanks

    Here is what Dr Atkins said about water weight
    But do understand this: On any weight loss program, the first weight lost is water weight. Atkins is a particularly effective diuretic, so the water weight tends to come off fast on my program. But be assured that after four to five days, the pounds that come off are primarily fat.
    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 had the same question because I have lost 3 pounds since Tuesday and have been peeing like crazy, LOL! But I also have worked out pretty intensely all 3 days since then. This answers my question too.
