5 days on induction and 8lbs. lighter

I wweight myself for the first time since I started induction and I'm 8lbs. lighter. Anyone know what a good loss during induction would be. I'm affaid that maybe it's all water loss. Does water loss happen with Atkins??

Yes, a lot of your loss will be water ... but some of it will be fat too! Your weight loss figures are very good... it will slow down soon but less of it will be water then.

Low carb diets are diuretic so you lose water. This is why you need to drink at least 8 x 8oz glasses of water a day. The other reason is to flush out the part burned fat from your system - so keep the water intake up.

Good luck - you're off to an excellent start.
