I've been on induction 9 days, and I've lost 10 pounds. Well, strictly, I'd lost some of it in the week leading up to beginning, when I was sort of "conscious" of carbs, and deliberately giving some stuff up... Still, 10 lbs in say a week and a half... Not bad..
Those who say that's too fast--relax. Atkins himself says that the first week's weight loss is largely water. Part of why he requires eight-eights hydration.
It really is true, reading this thread. Every single thing ANYONE has said against the diet, Atkins has already covered in the book.
If you're against it, or think it's unhealthy or a bad idea, you are under-informed. Go buy the book--whether you want to do the diet or not--because under-informed, you're spreading misinformation.
