It depends on the person, their body shape and the weight they need to lose.

Maybe for some people, but I didn't. I wasn't convinced I had lost anything until I stepped on the scale on day 15. And I wasn't convinced I lost inches until 4 months into Atkins when I went shopping for winter clothing.~Megs~

I started feeling "thinner" around day 4 or 5. Then on day 9, I saw that I had lost an inch on my waist, so I KNEW it wasn't my imagination. It's day 10 now, and I still haven't weighed myself, so I really have no idea where I am there, but I definitely feel thinner. I don't feel like I have to "hold it in" anymore. What a feeling!I'm 26 years old, and I lost weight on this plan in 2005. I'm getting married in August and thought this would be the way to go after making little progress on other diets. I've got 20 lbs to lose for the big day!

I'm not kidding you, I could tell the difference on about day 4! My mom could tell by looking at me right away too! I didn't even tell her I was dieting -- she noticed! I wasn't carrying around that carb "bloat" around my gut. It was very noticeable.Started 4/18/04

I started feeling thinner after I found Atkins made me want to eat less.
I found in the mornings I woke up with a flatter tummy, and I stopped being sleepy after dinner-time30yo F 5'5 (166cm)

I felt some difference on day 4. Not actually thinner but less bloated and I can feel the difference in my clothes. They are looser but I didn't weigh myself until day 7 so I don't know if I lose any lbs on those previous days. And my face is less puffy that's why my roommates immediately noticed the difference.... :waveMabel

Just starting my 4th day. After the 2nd day my wife picked up and said my stomach was looking better and after the 3rd day I did the clothes test, tried on a pair of pants that were a little to tight a week ago and they felt a little bit better this time on. Yet the scales prove me wrong I still weigh the same....Yet I know my stomach has shrunk...and I'm not hungry anymore.
Cheers!

By the end of the 2nd day, I stopped having those cravings for sweets, and started to feel alot less bloated. Then my energy level elevated, and things got better and better.Comment
