I was wondering, how much water weight is usually lost on atkins induction and how do you know when you have lost all the water weight and is now losing stored fat?

p.s. day 4 on atkins. i feel great and lost 4lbs so far!

Re: Water Weight

It's impossible to say how much of it is water and how much is fat. But from DANDR 2002, Chapter 9:

In fact, research shows that even when water is lost during the first few days on a controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach, the water balance soon returns to normal, and the weight loss comes from burning fat for energy. The most dramatic sign of this loss is seeing the inches drop off your measurements.

Re: Water Weight

drinking water actually helps your body burn fat and will help you loose weight faster. That is one reason Dr. Atkins said to drink at least 64 ounces of pure water daily.

Re: Water Weight

depends on your previous dialy water intake. i remember when i went though 2 days days with only a couple glasses of water (really sore throat), and then had lots of water on 3rd day, i put on 3.5 kilos of pure bloat. it came right off in next 2 days after drinking properly
