Whoosh Fairy....come out, come out where ever you are...

[imeanitthistime]

I have been good. Following OWL rung 1 to the letter. Exercise, water, the works. I lost 6lbs the first 10 days in induction and nothing in the last 12 days. Not discouraged yet. I know it takes time, but....is this something that happens?

ps: I know you meant well Lost Youth Fairy, but a zit on my forehead at 54 was not what I had in mind.

Many people find that their 3rd week of Atkins is a week of no weightloss - so many that there is an acronym made of the phrase 'Post Induction Stall Syndrome' though officially a 'stall' on Atkins is 4 weeks of no pounds or inches lost.

So maybe stay on rung one for another week and see if your body realises what it is supposed to do and co-operates by dropping weight or losing inches.

Thank you. I started a low calorie, gluten free diet in January and got used to seeing a drop every 3 days or so. I know this WOE is sustainable for me so I need to learn patience

I didn't lose for 12 days staring RUNG 1 (I have recently reverted) hang in there. Make sure you are getting enough veggies in and drink your water! More if you can stand it.

Have you tried the Whooshie Pie yet? 2Big probably remembers the Whooshie Pie tales.

Still haven't found out what makes a whoosh (drop several pounds at once) after Induction. I think it's a secret.

.

I totally forgot about the "Post Induction Stall Syndrome", that plus TOM no wonder only today my scale finally showed another weight loss. Only minor, but better than nothing or opposite.

So hang in there
