Just to add my own experience; I lost 4-1/2# my first week on induction, didn't lose another bit for 7 weeks. Didn't lose any inches during those 2 months either.
I have hypertension and during those first 2 months my blood pressure stablized and then it started dropping and dropping, which was really great. My Dr kept having to half my medication.
BTW, my usually supportive sister urged me to go off Atkins since it wasn't helping me to lose weight rapidly. But you can see from my photos that I did lose weight and inches.
