I think that weight losses on induction are going to vary with the individual. I started out at 315#, my goal weight is 160#,a loss of 155#, and I lost 14# on my first week of Induction, so almost 10%. That is going to vary with what foods are eaten, salt/nitrates in those foods, drinking enough water, exercise level... as you can see there are quite a few influencing factors. And you might experience side effects at first, as your body detoxes from all the carbs. Headaches are not unusual, and stomach upsets, are what I experienced... be SURE and drink AT LEAST 2 quarts of water per day, if not more. I want to welcome you to the forum, and wish you luck in your journey... feel free to ask any questions, and also search prior posts for info... there is a wealth of info on this forum~ Ciao for now~
