Is he sure 8 kg is the only thing he has lost? What I mean by this is, did his doctor give him the okay for following such a diet? Did he have a medical exam before starting the diet and periodical exams while/after doing it?

Well, unless they contain only protein isolates, protein shakes are not allowed before OWL Rung 2 of Atkins (this if they have whey protein; otherwise they are only allowed in higher rungs).

can you tell me if I stick to the diet by when can i achieve my goal weight ?

It's impossible to say. On one hand because you are not following Atkins and I don't have experience with your diet, and on the other hand because even if you were following Atkins it would depend on what your lean body mass is, on how you are following the rules, on what your degree of metabolic resistance is, on your food intolerances and so on.
As I've said in my previous post, I do not consider the diet you are following to be healthy. It is a deprivation diet similar to Kimkins (definitely not Atkins!) and you can check what this kind of diet may do to your health if you just google "Kimkins survivors". It's good that you want to reach a healthy weight, but being skinny and sick is not an inch better than being overweight, imo.
