Day 6 of induction, have not lost even one pound of weight or one inch off anywhere! Looks like I have been eating right except for one day when my fat intake was a little low (53%).

Also, I do not know if I am in ketosis at all or not. My breath does not smell bad (my wife vouches for that), I do not suffer from the withdrawals that some others seem to go through, in fact I feel absolutely no different from the way I felt before starting Atkins, except I go to the toilet less often and fart less often.

What is happening to me? I take no medications other than one multivitamin, one B Complex, one Calcium and 100 mg of vit.C. I drink around 3 litres of water a day, one cup of green tea a day, I even gave up on my favourite - single-malt scotch (that is the only alcohol I like drinking).

I have three more weeks to show my doctor that I can lose weight and reduce my cholesterol and sugar level before he puts me on Diabetes medication or pronounces me dead and washes his hands off me.

Help!
