Atkins Diet Weight Loss: What to Expect in the First 2 Weeks


Question
how much weight do u lose the first 2 weeks on the atkins diet?  thanx!

Answer
I have an article with a graph in it, from which you'll see that different people lose weight at different rates. You can see it at:

The matter is, Dr. Atkins left uncertain a very important component of getting into ketosis: protein grams. On Atkins, you are allowed to have as much protein as you please, but in fact about half of it will be converted into carbohydrates. Since there's no telling how much of protein comparing to fat different dieters consume, there's no telling how much weight they'll lose.

Hope it helps,
