Hi all!
I started Atkins in September. I need to drop over 100 pounds and am really committed to doing so in the next year. My question is how much is too much? I have lost 31 pounds in 50 days. I feel pretty good and have slowly increased my carbs to about 40 a day. While I am thrilled with the weight loss I have not started phase 2 for me (the gym as yet) - as I wanted to drop at least 30 pounds prior as my joints were not feeling great. Is this type of loss normal? I have always lost easily on low fat diets but have never been able to stick with them. Thank God for Atkins - I have felt no desire to cheat (short of the occaisional cup of coffee) and it finally fits in well with my family (a husband and 2 small kids). What if any are the effects of losing too fast? Anyone know?
