    My results were I dropped a lot of water the first week which motivated me to keep restricting carbohydrates. Your motivation will wane fast on Atkins. Luckily I was already a member of the forums on mfp where I reluctantly believed someone when they told me I needed only a caloric deficit to lose. Slowly I added in carbs because I was terrified they'd make me fat, but low and behold they were right. Years later I'm still down 80lbs and I can tolerate social situations and walking by Subways.
