If you've been on Atkins before and gone off or if you have a past of yo-yo dieting, don't expect the same results this time that you got last time. The fast weight loss you experience the first time you do Atkins is a gift; one that isn't bestowed upon you again. The more times you go on an off diets, the harder it gets to loose the weight. You need to develop the mindset that this is not a "diet"..something you do for a little while until you loose the weight you want to loose and then quit. This is for life. If you keep going on and off diets, eventually even induction levels of carb will not work for you. For now, stick with what you are doing and be patient. The weight WILL come off, but not nearly as quickly as it did before.
