on average how much will you lose?

[Poizon Ivy]

ok so in my induction i lost 6 pounds the first week and nothing on the second week, so i moved to owl. (maybe its the period)??

i go up the ladder week by week cuz i'm only 20 (14 now) pounds over weight

i was exercising 30 mins every day in induction

but i think i'll cut it to 3 days a week 30 mins each

i wasn't eating my daily carb intake, cuz simply i'm not hungry, i would eat 3-5 carbs a day.

i'm not planning to count the carbs in owl either, cuz i only eat one meal most of days, which is meat.

will this not make me lose weight?

i'm 200% sure i wont exceed my intake limit.

i lost my appetite too

Eating mostly meat isn't Atkins, neither is eating 3-5 carbs a day. So I really cannot tell you how much weight you will lose doing your low carb diet.

As for not "planning to count carbs in owl either". Again, that's not OWL Phase as Dr. Atkins wrote it. Because during OWL, you're supposed to count carbs in order to find your Critical Carbohydrate Losing Level.

So it's hard to answer your questions because we base our answers on Dr. Atkins' diet and it's not fair to you to give you Atkins answers to trouble shoot your low carb diet.

You're only eating one meal a day and it's meat?

You should be eating all of your alloted veggies, the first rung of owl is an additional 5g of veggie carbs.


I highly suggest you pick up a copy of DANDR and follow the plan as it was meant to be followed...eating 3-5g's of carbs in one meal a day isn't doing Atkins, and certainly isn't a sustainable or healthy way of eating.

That depends on your metabolism, your age, your sex, your medical issues, etc. No one can predict how much weight you will lose.

I lost alittle over 100 pounds on OWL. It would be ridiculous for me to tell someone with a 30 pound weight loss goal that they too will lose the same amount that I did, wouldn't it?

Re: on average how much will you lose?

I agree with not2late. As much as I want to compare my weightloss with others, I've learned the hard way that everyone is different. Just follow the plan the way you're supposed to and find out. You'll be fine.
