the body works in misterious ways.. trust the diet and it will work, although i know it can be dissapointing! did you get a big loss in week 1? i lost 2lb in the second week then 4 this week, think its the body adjusting! dont give up x
Yes the first week loss was mostly water from your glycogen stores. This gives a wonderful but misleadingly huge loss! From now on you will be burning - and therefore losing - fat. Second week losses are almost always way less than first. Next week if you stick to the plan you should see a slightly higher loss but if you don't, please do not panic or lose heart.
Atkins is not a fast weight loss diet. It is a new way of eating and of relating to food and nutrition. I think it is the best weight loss and maintenance method, around!
