It took me about 5 weeks to lose the first 20 pounds, although about half of that came in the first week or so of induction.

Although the inevitable slow down has happened, it is still more consistent and quicker than my previous starvation low Fad diets.

One thing though, I found, with the exception of coffee, which for me seems to have no effect, I have followed Atkins to the letter, particularly in relation to the bars and shakes. Have not touched them. If it is not meat, eggs, cream, cheese or allowed vegetables, I dont touch it.

AND..... Loving it.
