Re: induction weight loss

You could be retaining water, for example.

i didnt lose any weight i didnt cheat but i had a steak at a restaraunt

Was there something wrong with that steak?

Are you eating vegetables?

Re: induction weight loss

I would not worry about it if you are obviously losing inches Dr Atkins said that losing inches when the scales were not moving down shows we are losing FAT!!!!

Not everyone loses scales weight the first week on induction, some lose more the second week, so this might be the case with you. Wait till after the 14th day and weigh and measure then and see how you did.

Hang in there the scales will catch up soon.

Keep it up! You'll get the results you want if you keep at it

Re: induction weight loss

Question: why is it that my clothes can fit better but no change on the scale?

Re: induction weight loss

Everyone is different! I dropped 12 pounds the first week, but not one inch anywhere. If it was tight at Day One it felt as tight or tighter at the end of week One. Now, suddenly, I'm pulling in the belt farther and farther. So, maybe in your case its inches first - pounds later.

Good luck!

Re: induction weight loss

I would recomend taking measurements. A lot of people go through this. You sometimes see a difference in inches rather than weight. You can be retaining water from something you ate, or if you are working out HARD you can retain water from inflammation.

In that case stop worrying about what the sticks say The readings vary for many different reasons and if you are losing inches you are losing FAT, which is really what we are looking to see, isn't it?

also will i still lose weight if i went on a 7 day religous water fast 2 days before i started atkins help please not...

Well if you have already done the water fast there is nothing you can do about how or if it has affected your losing now, is there?
What is done, is done.
So just carry on following the plan and see how your 14 days goes then look at the chart in DANDR to see your metabolic resistance to weightloss and decide how to proceed.

Re: induction weight loss

This morning was the end of my first week on induction, I have only lost 1 lb! But this is a change in my way of life, not just a diet, right? So, yes I would love to drop 30 lbs in 2 months, but most likely that's not going to happen. Just like any regular "diet", I didn't put this weight on in a few months, I'm certainly not going to take it off in just a few months. Except this isn't just any old "diet". This is my second time around and for some reason it has really hit home this time that this truly is a change in my lifestyle, and that really makes it okay to lose just 1 lb.
