I started the Atkins diet for the first time last Sunday. I have been working out twice a week and my ketone sticks show dark pink- purple color, but I only lost 2 pounds!
Is that normal? Aren't you supposed to lose weight rapidly during the first 2 weeks? I have been eating Atkins Bars and drinking the protein shakes. Does that have any affect of slowing down the pace?
Please help, I fear I am about to lose my ability to keep the diet so strict if I don't see any results soon. Needless to say that my cloths look exactly the same on me..
