Induction Results ?

[Laurajeremy]

I am in the middle of induction (Day 5 begins tomorrow) and was wondering what typical (if there is ) induction results are like.

My friend told me she lost 10 lbs on induction

and so far after only 4 days I have lost 5 lbs so I wonder if I am losing it too quickly

I have about 40 lbs to lose in total

Thanks for the help

Everyones body is different and therefore everyones weight loss will be different. What you might have lost in only 4 days could be water weight

Stay off the scale till day 15!

And congrats on the pounds lost

On average, a person will lose 5% to 10% of their desired amount in the first 14 days of Induction.
(If you had 30 pounds to lose, you could be expected to lose 3 pounds, give or take, depending on your metabolism)

Welcome to ADBB. y9ur weight lose will be dependant on your metabolism and your body make up do you have a large or samll gylcogen storage system.

As long as you are feeling healthy you are not losing too fast right now. your weight loss will slow down as soon as your glycogen stores are depleted.

HAppy low carbing.

by day 5 i'm alsway down about 5 pounds. for me that is just water weight. if you were to stop most likly you would gain it all back within 2 days. the most important reason tostay off the scale is because you would be up a few pounds tomorrow.

make sure you take your measurments
