Sorry I should have wrote i started induction phase of atkins after reading atkins new diet revolution and i have read and reread the book to make sure i am doing this right. I didn't expect to see weight loss immediately,I even could understand weight gain 0f 1-3 lbs untill ketosis/lipolysisstarts. But now up to5.5lbs and just would like to know if this is normal. Any advice would be appreciated ( Also strips are still negative for ketones.)
