I agree, this would be perfect for the Launch Pad!1

Good explanation, thanks!
I recently bought 4 boxes of Atkins bars when they were BOGO. I loved them, but they were the first low-carb/fake-sweetener food I tried that totally bothered my digestive system. No more for me. They were tasty though!1 -

I've heard them called, er, Sorebuttal bars.7 -
What happens if I don't/didn't lose a lot of weight the first week or 2? Does it mean I did not use all of my glycogen stores? And does it that I am still not in ketosis 5 weeks later, despite keeping my carbs below 30 (usually closer to 20)? Yikes!0

This was so helpful. I lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks and it came to a screeching halt the third week. While it is sad to not see the numbers go down a ton I feel so much better and can't imagine going back to how I was eating before. I have also lost several inches even though the scale doesn't move. I just got my waist under 40 inches. So I'm gonna keep on doing what I'm doing it's obviously working despite the mean mean scale.6

A ha! Thanks!-snip-
1 lb of fat has 3500 calories. 1 lb of glycogen/water has 500 calories. Everything else being the same (calorie deficit wise) you'll be losing weight at 1/7th the rate while burning fat as when you were burning glycogen. If you lost 7 lbs in your 1st week on induction it is not a surprise at all that you'll lose 1 lb/week by your 2nd or 3rd week. ONE POUND A WEEK IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is not a failure. It is success.

LOL!
For me it was stomach pain, nausea and reflux.2 -
Nausea, tummy pains and butt pee... those bars are made out of evil itself.1

After being at 250 for years I have been at 200 +/- 5% for past two years on LCHF. Calorie creep stalled me plus I wanted to to maintain my loss for a year or so to prove that yo yoing weight was not gernic in my case.
Now I need to do the same but at 175.
I was sold after losing the first 20 pounds. Now I know I never have to be obese again in my life. I have just cut 1000 calories of coffee creamer down to 200 daily and it is working.6
