Hi,
I'm new to the low carbing lifestyle. In fact, I've been on induction for two weeks and have lost 7 pounds. According to the New Diet Revolution this is average, but everyone else I know who has done lc has lost a lot more during the first two weeks. What do you think?

OK, then, meet me! I have lost only 3 lbs during the two week induction, nothing in the third week of induction. People differ in their responses.

Yep, meet me too. There are lots of people here who lose the same or less than you during induction.

I stayed on induction for the whole first month, and lost 8 pounds.

Everyone is different. Its probably just more common to hear about the large losses some people have, and focus on that.

If you are doing all the right things, then you are doing just fine to lose 7 pounds.

Take care

I can't remember what I lost, somewhere between 0-10.

What I do remember is thinking and feeling that it was a miracle to lose weight so easily. I could have been spending that time gaining weight instead.

considering how much you have to lose, it is FAR above normal.

I've found that comparing myself to others or to some ideal only leads to disaster. My body is my body, yours is yours. As long as you feel healthy and can keep up your behaviors for a lifetime, any loss rate is a good loss rate

Lots of good responses here for you.

I think the important thing is YOU are doing YOUR journey and it's unique to YOU!! As Karen said...the fact that you lost is wonderful!! It could have been another week not LCing with a gain!

Keep at it....You can do it!
