5lb in 3 days
is this normal for Atkins?

Hi Liz. :wave: Initially, yes, because when you eat a diet high in carbs (ie the typical North American diet), excess sugar is stored in your muscles and liver in the form of glycogen. Glycogen requires a whole lot of water to be stored along with it. So when you go low carb and burn off your glycogen stores, you also release a lot of water. Several pounds worth, at least!
Good luck. :cool: |
