Keep up the great work and the recipe videos. It’s very informative. I appreciate your unique eloquence and down to earth way of explaining things. ~Thanks~
i started keto monday and by the middle of the week and not even that i loss 11 pounds but i weighed myself again and i gained like 4 of that back…is that normal ?
I agree with newbirth..I guess I’ve lost 60 pounds of water. LOL. This way of eating really works! We need to just do what works best for each of us! Try to block the negative comments. Happy holidays everyone !
On EVERY diet everyone loses some “water weight” The notion that it is only on the Atkins diet that water weight loss takes place is highly misleading!
The stats don’t lie when it comes to the long term success people have on the Atkins diet.
No matter how much groups like PEDA hate it the Atkins diet trumps all other diets hands down!
That’s just reflection off the snow messing with camera white balance.
The only good part about snow is the built-in exercise that comes with it. I have done 2 hours of weight training twice this week clearing my driveway of ice and snow. It also makes running outside all the more fun as now watching my footing and dodging snow ploughs become all the more important.
Yep the PETA and PCRN are just never going to accept this way of eating works. Even when they say they accept it *for you*, they are quick to rip it in the next sentence.
Very true about other dieting losing water weight – they just lose less. (As well as losing less otherwise – just kidding )
I know its phenomenal. (sarcasm mode on) Obese people don’t need a diet. They need a spigot! I love how others discount the success of others in reclaiming their health. (sarcasm mode off)
Don’t you lose a tremendous amount of water
the first week on any weight loss plan?
Maintaining ketosis means you are using your own fat for fuel,correct?
So you do indeed lose fat on Atkins and other low carb plans,not just water.
The response in those situations would typically be just stored glucose as glycogen which is mostly just water. I agree its sort of like alcohol in that the body will burn it through it quick, and get back to burning fat after the dalliance is over.
Yep you are right. You are burning either stored or dietary fat for energy.
They take pot shots at Atkins and other ketogenic diet for other reasons. The thing that always irked me is how they use this argument to dismiss the success and hard work of others who have achieved or are achieving success. Not so much for my success because I already made it, but for those likely to get self-doubt by one more well-meaning friend. Weight loss is hard enough without those people in your life.

Have a great Christmas
I guess I lost 65 pounds of water weight, lol!

I suspect that by living with glycogen depleted muscles one has a protective buffer that may make cheating once a year on the holidays less harmful.
