sister or her question, “Can I lose altitude XX pounds right now?” In this video I am responding to the issue of other more popular with new people from the Atkins diet. I ‘m always worried when I do this kind of questions in the search for weightloss can see a quick answer to their problems. I think that answers are often incorrect answers fast or temporary, at best. Of course, it is natural to have goals and use them to motivate you. It is also natural to be curious to see how much you lose induction (5-10% of your total weight loss goal). Where he goes astray is that focuses on weight loss as the most important part, and does not recognize the equally important, what I learn during induction. Ultimately, I hopes that all reached their destination as quickly as they want, if possible, but if not I hope they realize how distant they are, where they were and are motivated by that, rather than miss the negative date .

@e334r BTW you never response to your comment about the diet of lethargic peoples. When was the last marathon you ran? It would seem you need a high energy diet like Atkins.
@e334r I lost 18 pounds on Induction, and that was not all water weight. Even if it was 10 pounds water weight, that still equals 8 pounds of visceral fat lost after the glycogen burn off. Additionally, I lost 193 MORE pounds after that. I went from 47% body fat to 11% body fat.
Using those numbers, I lost over the course of the diet 178 pounds of fat. Someone once told me that is a lot.
u can lose 10 pounds on induction in 5 days 9 lbs water and 1pound of fat…maybe
@bowulf Noted. Thanks.
@SoltaTararan I would say follow the diet as described in the book, and you’ll be golden. Trying to do uber-Atkins or Turbo-Atkins by either taking pills, thinking zero carb has to be better than low carb, doing low fat and low Calorie at the same time as low carb are all recipes to putting yourself in a bad position. As for stickin with the diet, it is intended to be a lifelong approach to food, but there are phases for each stage.
Anyone have suggestions on how to do this diet safely? I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about heart disease and what not, I’d just like to know if it’s a good idea to stick with this diet.
@hiru231 Sorry like this video said it’s impossible for me to say how long it will take. It might take 2 months or 6 months, but either way you’ll be eating healthier than ever before.
As for working out, when I first started it was 3-4 times a week for what I could (15 minutes). Now I am working out (running and lifting weights) 5-7 days a week for 1-2 hours at a time.
i am 200 pounds weight.. i need to lose 60-70 pounds, how long it will take if i follow your guides ? is it need to detoxification on induction 14 days ? and how many exercises i have to do in a week ? is it like 3 times a week or else ? sorry if i ask so many questions in my first comment
@PairoftheSocks Congrats that is fantastic progress… Keep it going, and don’t discouraged if the amount next week is smaller. You are on a great start.
i’ve lost 20 pounds so far on induction, 1 and a half week in.
@leftwingnazi Check out my Induction flu video and my low carb zombie videos. The short answer is while you may be out of sorts — you are dramatically how you eat and about the same as a marathoner hitting the wall, the feeling is temporary. It also doesn’t hit everyone the same way. In fact, I get lots of reports of why am I not feeling the “flu?”
My job is highly technical and design oriented, and I personally have not had any problems with mental acuity.
I need to lose 30 pounds and but I’m kind of afraid of going on Atkins because I am a full time college student and really need to be able to think clearly. Doesn’t this diet make you feel terrible ( both mentally and physically) the first couple of weeks?
thanku so much for the response
truly appreciate it!
As the video and the video notes say, ” It’s also natural to be curious to see how much you will lose on Induction (typically 5-10% of your total weightloss goal).” So at 2.2 pounds down already, you are doing great at 10 percent lost with another week to go. I can understand perhaps the frustration or desire to be at goal already, but you are on track. You are just one of the smarter ones who didn’t need to lose 50, 100, or like me 200 pounds.
sorry but yes my mayo(i usually use salad creme) does contain added sugar
& i eat whenever im hungry which is every 3-4 hrs…
i have to lose 22 pounds…my water intake is ample,i consume more than 3 litres daily as im home all day…breakfast is usually 3 egg omelet with mushrooms,tomatoes,onions,green chillies and a slice of cheddar cheese….i snack on kraft’s mozzarella string cheese, piece of chicken with mayo/creme, 2 cups green with lemon….lunch is half a roast chicken with whipping creme,mayo,splenda all mixed together to make a sweet tasting sauce…dinner is lamb kebabs with rocca salad or caesar salad
How much weight do you have to lose? What are your menus like? Are you drinking enough water?
kent im on day 7 of the induction phase & ive lost ONLY 1 kg = 2.2 pounds
i mean another week & i wudve lost ONLY 2kgs=4 pounds?? 
y is the weigh loss so incredibly slow for me??
Addendum… oh yeah .. and
About those weighing themselves every 3 hours …. stop !!! that’s about as insane as it gets ! again… wait,wait ,wait… you will see a more accurate picture… than
fretting over minute numbers 10 times a day … far more rewarding. try every month on the day you ‘start” whatever it is you start … we’re far too addicted to hourly weigh..ins
and…. does anyone EVER notice or hear the 4.2….. 3.7 ……. 1.4 … 1.1 decimal point syndrome ???
pssst..people ” drop the point thing” round it off…. it’s only adding fuel to the neurosis…. It’s so irrelevant ! Not necessary to split hairs . Average it out over time … that’s ACCURATE !
Very true – all the angst and stress about how much should be focused elsewhere.
you will for sure lose the amount that you will lose.
That is an awesome start. Congrats!
good video just finished induction and dropped 15 pounds.
