or its sister question, “Can I lose XX amount of pounds by this date?” In this video, I respond to the other most popular question by new people starting the Atkins Diet. I am always concerned when I see these types of questions in that the poster perhaps is looking for a quick answer to their weightloss problem. In my opinion that quick answers are often wrong or temporary answers at best. Sure, it’s natural to have goals and use them to motivate you. It’s also natural to be curious to see how much you will lose on Induction (typically 5-10% of your total weightloss goal). Where it goes astray is that it focuses on the weight loss as being the most important part, and does not acknowledge the equally important question of what do I have to learn during Induction. In the end, I hope everyone achieves their goal as quickly as they desire it if possible, but if not, I hope they realize how far they have come from where they were and are motivated by that rather than be negative about missing the date.

Hi
I was on the Atkins last year. I lost 2 and half stone (I’m British). I stupidly gave it up and went back to unhealthy eating. Now I am on the Atkins again. I have been on it for just over a week. this time I have lost very little. Last year I lost loads. I must admit that I have had a few vodkas and slimline tonic because I thought they were low in Carbs. I’m trying to be stricter now. Is my weight loss normal or should it be quicker than this?
@bowulf Kool have a great time in vegas thanks for the help
also am gunna post some more videos over next week as there is a festival on in my town kool take care and thanks again 
@gaupaenazul Very cool… It is always great to see when the inches start dropping away. I’ll be sure to watch your video when I get back home from Vegas.

@bowulf …..because I was feeling hungry and haddent got the hang of it so let me give you an example I hear this is easier to do in uk as the labels so here my example : Day 5 yesterday friday 26/8/11 2x eggs 100g lettuce 50g spinach 3x small slices of ham a dizzle of ranch dressing 1x cup of decafinated tea ax rsp of splenda ax tsp of cream 25mls basically of cream that’s for breakfast basically scrambled eggs with salad. Lunch: 1x half a renderized steak im sure was 16 oz’s 100g lettuce ….
@bowulf Hi there that’s helpful very helpful I have been eating well I have listed it each say since I started so for example well only got the hang of it over the last two days I started out really losey as was hungry so had snacked on two tbsp of peanut butter into the second say I was really struggling have been reading the books say I am going through sugar withdrawls so have noticed from how im counting it I have come from 150 g of carb on the first day down to 20 on the 6th I think…above
@gaupaenazul Just remember two things it is net carbs, so be sure to subtract fiber from your total. The second thing is to ensure your fat grams are high enough. Approximately 65% of your Calories should be coming from Fat. That level of fat should help kick in ketosis which has an appetite suppression effect. What have you been eating each day?
Hi I keep going over my 20g of carbs a day by 20 or 40g because im hungry can you give me some advice on how I do induction have been doing it for 4days starting to feel im not craving sugar as much but i was a big sugar eater I used to eat 2 tubs of ben and jerry’s once a week 2 packets of chewy sweets and anything like cupcakes chocolate spread on toast coffee with sugar 3tsp and
well I don’t even know if im counting my carbs right but am thinking to have gone from so much sugar to low carb so quickly 20g is my body rejecting it anyways would be appreciative of some advice here as I’ am failing miserably and want to do this but im hungry all the time and veg does not fill me up
@covergirl1313 My weight will fluctuate during the day quite a bit, so that is the reason to pick a consistent time to weigh yourself. You are encouraged to add exercise as you feel you can. Most people need at least 2 weeks to acclimate to the diet before their athletic performance returns.
mr bowulf i am in the medical field and i am on my feet 7 hrs out of an 8 hr day 4 days a wk can i add that as exercise my job is also physically demanding. Another ? is i lost 11 lbs in one wk now my weight is flucuating btwn 4 lbs is this ok its like i gain 4 lbs after dinner i know the scale is a bad thing but i guess i use it to validate if im doing the diet right
@starlight8605 Nausea is one of the effects of the appetite suppression. It isn’t always nauseous, and it can be from having the same thing over and over again. You can help yourself by keeping a varied Induction friendly diet, drinking your water, and ensuring you get enough of electrolytes.
I lost 60 pounds on the Atkins Diet some years ago. Was very happy. Gained it back. About to start again but i remember feeling like i was going to throw up the first week. Is that normal. Not looking forward to that again. Is that a side effect of going into ketosis?
@ahwilane2 I had that too. I heard its because all the carb. you had in your body was storing water…and now when you arent giving the body carb. the same way, you will pee more.
@LuLu6214 FYI – you go into ketosis not ketoacidosis. There is a big difference between the two. Non-diabetic can not enter ketoacidosis, which occurs in the presence of high carb, and ketosis, which low carbers do enter, occur only in the presence of low carbohydrate consumption.
Check out my ketosis vs. ketoacidosis for more information if you care to be more educated, but you have to decide for yourself what is most likely to get you to goal.
I am super hesitant to start a diet where you force ketoacidosis it is unhealthy and dangerous even fatal. I think Im just going to stick to regular excercise and eating not trying to kill myself.
@robinhowardjohnson For the most part I don’t eat many specific sugar free products. Most things (90-99%) are really just regular foods that are naturally low carb or out of ingredients that are naturally low carb. I never had a huge sweet tooth before, so it was not much of impediment. You are allowed 3 artificial sweeteners per day.
I lost quite a bit of weight on atkins but i still dont feel like im reading the back of labels properly and in New zealand its hard to find a wide variety of sugar free products…how much sweetner am i allowed on atkins?
@ahwilane2 Yes, it is normal. In the first part of the diet, the body is burning through the stored glycogen before it gets into ketosis, and glycogen is two parts water to one part glucose. So it is a bit diuretic in the first week as you purge excess water from your body, and hence the urination.
I’ve only been on the Atkins for three days, but I noticed an increase of urination. Is that normal?
@musicluver71 wow! congrats! haha i started atkins today and hopefully i could stick w/ it!
@bowulf Thanks for the tip. I will look into that today when I go shopping.
@wckdkl0wn You might try additionally things like salt substitutes, like Morton No Salt or Salt Lite. Most people are low in electrolytes when they initially start the diet due to the initial diuretic effect. Congrats on your awesome success!
I started atkins after seeing your success story video. I started on march 18th 2011. I am now down 30 lbs on April 11th. Start weight was 296 and now at 266-267. At first I wasn’t taking supplements but soon learned why I would need them. I would get really bad leg cramps. After starting a multi vitamin, fish oil, and L-carnitine the leg cramps vanished. I am thinking about moving away from induction now onto the next stage. I wanted to say thank you so much for making your videos.
@craigwarme LOL its to late for you man those roids are in your system even if you try to go legit your body will be destroyed teheheheh
great !
whats the song in the intro? if u tell me ill sub u
@arj3191 yes i have stopped my subscition a couple hours ago for steriods and ordered power bars and performance bars im going to be 20 years old somtime and going 2 be ripped then look back at myself and say wow i did that without steriods and u will still have big balls lol ive been exerciseing since i was 6 i want to perspect my body in a good way i now am going 2 work off the muscle that going 2 become flab because i stopped steriods ): another task that im going 2 complete thanks man (:
@craigwarme Trust me man, the rewards are so much better knowing that you work hard for them. I would rather you see me as an inspiration than seeing drugs as the alternate route. It’s a challenging process but anyone, including you can do it. If you are that serious about it, you dont need roids. You got this man.
@arj3191 ok i work out about 2 hours a day i do 5 miles everyday and do 350 crunches ok i eat 4000 calories i am 9 percent body fat and i forget the how much muscle i am i want to be like ur size not like fucking people in the ullimpics ok i take steriods to be ur size i probrably will stop when im a little older because i thought about what u sai about my balls and being a women and i thought it over and im going 2 stop using steriods and use energy bars and performance bars thanks for thehelp
@craigwarme Kid??? I’m sorry but you got that switched around. It’s not necessarily cheating but you have no patience! You absolutely need to get bigger ASAP and find the easy way out! Thats half assed work, and with half ass work comes half ass results. Believe me. It may not be today or tomorrow but your un-willingness to work will catch up in some for or another. The greatest, richest most powerful ppl in the world never took shortcuts!
@arj3191 cheating u cant cheat in life kid u can have help but no cheat
@craigwarme Naw dude, even if steroids didn’t wern’t illegal and didn’t have side affects, I still wouldn’t take em cuz it’s cheating. Plus, I like the size I’m at, I’m not trying to get as big as possible. That will just look gross. And your right your life your decisions.
@arj3191 wow my brother goes harder then me he takes 1500$ steriods then he takes growth hormones which i might TRY in my future and he does somthing else that supposed to be for bulls but egleast im living my life how i want to and no im not going 2 become a women lol if i become a women ummmmmmmmm i would get a sex change sometime u should try steriods they work effictiontly and there fast
@craigwarme “ANABOLIC steroids” you dont even know what you are takin! And if the roids made your muscles change, (a side affect) you WILL have other side affects. So I hope your “immunity” stays along for the next 20 years because thats how long you got til your body exits maturation, your balls have yet to produce testosterone, but since the roids are taking care of that your body will not produce the normal abount of test. sooo…. estrogen takes over. Do you really want to become a woman?
@arj3191 lol no they have dropped and they are still in tact and no im not joking about what i previously said
@craigwarme Your 13, your testicles have yet to drop…. When they do their gonna fall off. I hope you are joking BTW.
lol all u need to do is take anibiotic steriods i take them there only 1000$ every 3 months im 13 and i can max out at 370 pounds i have a bulging 6 pack and it does not effect ur testosteon or ur testicle size my life is good (:
Why is Dominos being advertised at the side of a fitness video…??
