    That DIZZY feeling you get is when your body is switching from using Carbs/ sugars as fuel and your switching over to using fats/ketones as your main fuel,, when you are on the other side of the switch you will feel FANTASTIC!!,, and the scale will start rocking downward,, its during this "dizzy" stage that some people have ran to the doctors feeling "badly" and its then that the doctors and the news will say "atkins isnt safe",, when they just dont understand what is happening

    Today is the end of my first week on induction (20 grams of carbs ). I've lost 4.2 lbs. I'm happy with it and hope that next week I can do the same. I've constantly been in ketosis. In the book, Atkins says that women lose an average of 6 lbs. in the first 2 weeks of induction, and men lose 10 lbs. Why am I not surprised!

    Today is January 16 and I have lost 16.2 pounds in 16 days. I just realized that and man alive, that makes me happy!!!

    Some days I just lose a fraction of a pound and some a little more than 1.....only a couple of days did I go up a fraction or stay static. You have to be in this for the long haul and you will see results.
