Welcome, 1skinymini! Glad to have you aboard!

I don't know what the Atkins Starter Manual is, but I presume it gives you the lists of allowed foods for Induction. (I follow DANDR, myself.) The fact is, nobody can predict how quickly you will lose weight. Some people lose much more quickly than others. Weight loss is a very individual thing.

All I can suggest is that you follow the plan as it is written, with absolutely no cheats. You will probably do best if you avoid alcohol, and the Atkins products. Be careful not to go over the limits on cheeses, cream, etc.

Best of luck to you!

Hi & welcome! I have found the quickest way to drop the weight is to stay on induction, no cheating and don't forget your supplements & extra potassium. Good luck & congratulations!
