KC;I just started for the first time on the atkins diet yesterday. Today i am already down 3 lbs. Is that possible ?
"Possible?" - yes, in fact it's not unusual for a couple of reasons.
First, fluctuation of daily weight can (and will) be up to 4#/day for "no reason" (at least no reason that seems to make any sense - totally normal.
Next, it's also "normal" for many folks to lose at very high rates (>1-1.5#/week) for the first week or two, but it's "water weight) - water in the cells, not in a glass.
Once things settle down (after a couple weeks) weekly losses in the 0.5 - 1 or 1.5#/week are what most experience so don't get discouraged if your progress slows - totally normal (and rates in the 0.5 - 1.0/week are much healthier and more sustainable.
Remember that any LCHF "diet" is first and foremost a HEALTHY diet - NOT a miracle weight loss project.0 -
