Expected to loose amounts on Intro!?

March 20, 2005, 12:03 PM

Hi.. I did atkins in the summer and lost about 7-12 lbs. I have gained a lot of weight since then and am wondering how many pounds I could possiably loose up too or on average on intro this time? I am looking to loose over all 30-40 lbs.

On average, a person will lose 5% to 10% of their desired amount at the end of the first two weeks of Induction.
So if you have 40 pounds to lose, you may lose upwards of 4 pounds, maybe more maybe less.
This number will help you understand your body's metabolic resistance (page 158 in DANDR)

It might also be helpful for you to read this, so you can better understand the nature of weight loss especially in the first weeks. :yes
