Has anyone noticed?
 

Has anyone noticed that while losing weight on Atkins they have managed to get in smaller sizes than other weight loss plans? I used to have to weigh 20 pounds less to fit in the size I'm in now? I'm wondering if I will have to change my goal weight. Just curious - any input would be appreciated.

I've definately noticed my body shape has changed. I used to have the infamous bubblebutt (even when I was 120 lbs-way back in the younger days, hahah). Now I don't. I seem to be more proportioned instead of wider at the bottom.

Yes! This happens to me, too. It's very common. It's because low carb plans are protein sparing. Low fat/low calorie diets cause loss of too much lean body mass. This time around, you've shrunk but *maintained* the good weight - your muscles. :thup:

Yup. My clothes fit much looser this time than they did last time I weighed this. I am about 1-2 sizes smaller than my weight would suggest.

My body shape is positively better. Skin doesn't sag and I don't have a gaunt look in my face. Amazingly enough, I didn't get "flat chested" immediately, which is what has happened in the past when eating low fat.

Yup! Aint it great? ;)

Thanks to all that responded. It's good to know others are seeing the same thing and it's not just my imagination. Thanks again.

Great Question !
