how long till after u started atkins did u feel thinner?

[Laurenad]

hmmm Why is it that after just a few days you do?

[not2late]

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

[Laurenad]

i mean. dont u feel like u start losing instantly after u start atkins. hahaha

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.

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 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.

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-time

About 3 or 4 months in I started feeling thinner and bought smaller clothing....

prolly around day 4 or 5 for me... after the induction flu had passed... I noticed I had a lot more energy and have felt fantastic ever since

I feel better the day following no carbs, but for me it takes about 6 days to start noticing it.

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.... :wave

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.
