I just started Atkins 3 days ago. I'd watched a lot of friends drop pounds. I weighed 246 on Wednesday morning and today I weigh 233. The speed concerned me. In the book Dr Atkins suggests to slow it down a little if this happens although apparently people with a lot of extra pounds can lose this much this quick. I did however feel a little light headed and sluggish, but this morning I feel much better. I've been exercising for the last few months and now plan to do even more. It works!!
I am a pretty healthy eater and the atkins menu isn't much different from what I normally eat except I no longer munch all that carb junk between meals. Plus I haven't had any beer. I hope once i get down to around 210 with a good exercise program I'll be able to have a beer or so every day.
Atkins is for real!

Lite beer has only 5 gms of carbs; get Sam Adams lite. On induction, you can easily have a lite brewski, and when you're on maintenance, you can have 2!
