I,ve been trundeling along with Atkins for about 4 weeks now and still happy to see 1 pound a day drop off It al seems to happen overnight for me?). People noticed the difference after just 6-7 days - mainly in my face/ neck. My practcie manager also started about 10 days ago although she blew it at the weekend with a 4 day drinking/eating session! but she also lost the chubness from her face quite rapidly. Is this a common occurance? My thighs have also reduced alot lately, but I can't see much change in my gut or the "handles" at the side of my chest! Here's hoping.
PS the pork scratchings from Morrisons are 80% protein, 20% fat and almost zero carb. They are great alternative to crisp and good for spreading things on. They basically have had all the fat rendered out of them so all that remains is the protein matrix. The higher fat more clasically "Yorkshire" scratchings are an aquired taste which go nicely with a beer - but I can't have a beer boo hoo - any low carb beers available?
