Default Re: 5 days into induction - I have a question.

Dr Atkins said this about whether we are losign water or fat
Quote:
On any weight loss program, the first weight lost is water weight. Atkins is a particularly effective diuretic, so the water weight tends to come off fast on my program. But be assured that after four to five days, the pounds that come off are primarily fat.
But as the others said, it is 9 pounds you are no longer carrying around with you, so well done!!
