How many pounds do you typically lose a month?

[bizzlekitty]

I lose about 4-5 lbs a month. I recently realized that I was eating too close to my CCLL in OWL and dropped back my carbs and started losing 2 lbs a week for a few weeks recently. It's too early to tell if I can keep this up and maybe lose 6-8 lbs a month, but no matter, I'm keeping this up regardless.

It's also hard to tell as you will sometimes reach plateaus, or slight stalls in OWL as you try different foods, etc. The key is to keep doing the program. Everyone will lose weight differently, but this WOE works.

I know a lot of people who stay on extended induction until they get near their goal weight. In fact, didn't I read in the book that it was ok to stay on extended induction for six months or more?

Just wondering, because I saw nothing wrong with Raley's (sorry if I misspelled it) post, and yet a couple of responses indicated otherwise.

Am I wrong?

There are many examples of people who stay on Induction until goal. The question is: are they successful on Atkins?

You probably did. But did you also read that one should not stay on Induction until goal? And should give himself/herself enough time to progress through all the phases of Atkins? I copied some paragraphs from the book above. There is more in Chapter 13.

Rayley is planning to stay on Induction until goal.
