Anyone else on Atkins, and if so how long before you saw results??? UPDATE!!!

I just started it yesterday, so I know nothing has happened yet, but I was wondering if I will really see a difference in 2 weeks?? Also another ? for anyone that used the Keto sticks, how long were you on the diet before they turned a darker color, right now it's still beige.


It's been 9 days and I've lost 5lbs!!!! YEAH!!!
I have 20lbs left, but I think I'm going to stay on the induction phase for a couple more weeks. I've been doing very well with it I haven't cheated at all and I have no desire to!! And I'm not starving I love Atkins I feel full but not bloated like you do with carbs. My FI and I went to a really great Japanesse Buffet the other night and I had ton's of stuff, chicken,crab legs,shrimp, steak and FI piged out on breaded things and stuff with rice. When we were finished he felt bloated and sick, I just felt full not bloated at all!! Again I love Atkins!!!

i will be starting atkins on may 1st, i am going to do it for a month to see how much weight i can loose. what are you going to be eating? i could use some nice suggestins.... also whats good is to take grilled steak or chicken and wrap it in lettuce for a sandwich, its pretty good.

Re: Anyone else on Atkins, and if so how long before you saw results???

The last 3 days I've eaten steak, tuna,eggs,baco,ham & cheese roll ups, salad (just lettace and cucumbers), tonight I'm having 1/2 a bbq chicken (no BBq Sauce) and for lunch I'm having spare ribs and salad. It's been good for me so far, because I only eat 3 meals aday because I feel full. I haven't snacked at all. I used to eat out of boredom, because I'm home all day with my son, but I'm just not hungry. Each of my meals keep me full until the next one. Last night I made myself eat dinner because you're not supposed to go more than 6 waking hours without eating. So far it's great and I'm not starving myself, or depriving myself really. I mean I can't have sugar or junk food but that stuff is terrible for me anyway, I'm not 18 anymore, so I feel good. And suppossedly Atkins helps you break the sugar addiction (which I have) so you don't even want it. And I'll tell you I haven't wanted sugar since I started, and I was always that kind of person that even if I was full after dinner I needed chocolate and alot of it. My FI even has these great cookies right now and I haven't even been tempted. Also on tuesday when I started Atkins I went out and bought suger free jello which I'm allowed to have, and it's been sitting in my fridge untouched!!! Now I know I may be getting excited prematurly we have to see if I lose weight, but I hope I do Because I love the Atkins Diet I feel Full!!!!I've also been trying to repeat that saying ' Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!!'

Re: Anyone else on Atkins, and if so how long before you saw results???

I've been on Atkins for the past year and 1/2. I've lost 43 lbs. I'm at the point where I can't lose anymore weight. If you saw before & after pics you will be in shock. For 1st few days are the hardest because your body goes through witdrawls. It's crazy...carbs are like drugs. Your body craves it! But hang in there and you will be ok. If you have any questions about e-mail me. I'm the Atkins Guru
I'll post the pics this weekend. ALson go on atkins.com. That has a carb counter too.

I have a little angel here that has a heart in the middle and it says 'I Love Atkins!'.

Re: Anyone else on Atkins, and if so how long before you saw results???

I love ATkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lost 28 lbs before teh wedding and now 5 weeks after teh baby, I am back on it. I saw results in 2 or 3 days.

Re: Anyone else on Atkins, and if so how long before you saw results???

Atkins rules!

I just went back on Induction. I've been pigging out last week due to that time of the month. I'm back on track.

Re: Anyone else on Atkins, and if so how long before you saw results???

I am so happy to see this thread! I am thisclose to going back on Atkins. It's the only thing that worked for me. I lost 20 pounds in a month. I don't expect anything that drastic this time around but I have been SO frustrated with other diets- I am hungry all the time. Atkins was the only diet where that didn't happen.

The first time, I saw results very quickly- within days. (On the scale)

Re: Anyone else on Atkins, and if so how long before you saw results???

It'so much easier now to find low-carb foods with the whole low-carb fad. When I first started people made fun of me and now...I'm their Atkins Guru

Re: Anyone else on Atkins, and if so how long before you saw results???

Help me then!!! What do you eat for breakfast?

Re: Anyone else on Atkins, and if so how long before you saw results???

I lost three pounds since my last post! Down to 148 from the 175 I was when I gave birth. 25 to go!

I eat eggs, cottage cheese, cold cuts, sausage and bacon, lunch is hot dogs, tuna, chicken or egg salad or a McDonalds grilled chicken salad. Dinner is steak, ham, chicken or pork with lettuce and creamy italian dressing.

Breakfast has been a little rough for me too. You can only eat so much eggs and bacon..LOL. But now I've just been eating non breakfast food, like chicken ceasars, or ham and cheese roll ups or anything!!
