Re: how many days
I think that's almost impossible to answer. Everyone is different and will lose weight at different "speeds". I agree with Georgiana that this isn't a quick fix diet. I really think Atkins is a life long change with many benefits - weight loss is just one of them.Comment

Re: how many days
No there is no such thing as a quick diet. There is only hard work

Re: how many days
The problem with quick fixes like the liquid fast diets and so forth that promise huge poundage gone and gone real quick is that they come back even faster and those pounds bring their friends and family. I regain way more than I lost every single time.
This time around I absolutely must see this as a lifestyle change as my obesity is to the point now that my health is threatened. Sure I want to lose the weight, but my focus this time is on getting my health back.
Now I did lose 15 pounds on two weeks' induction... with a hundred pounds to lose that's not all that hard as it's mostly fluids. Since then I average about a pound or two a week though have been stalled and oscillating around the same two pounds for a couple weeks now.Comment

Re: how many days
I think that what people are saying is that there is no way of knowing how quickly your individual body will decide to lose the weight you want to lose.Originally posted by tannaz View Post
You seem so far to be losing at a good rate - 1.7 pounds in one day is great by the way - but you will probably not carry on losing at that same rate. You might find some days when you lose more and some when you lose less and some when your scales tell you that your weight has risen.
So just continue for the 14 days of induction then move to the second phase of Atkins and see how long it takes you
As Chinadoll said - it will take as long as it takes 
Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
