Hi! Well, 30 pounds in a little over a month at your weight is a lot...but, depends on what you consider "healthy". I would recommend checking out the Atkins induction posts and definitely get the Atkins New Diet Revolution book. Definitely read it-it's a plan that requires precision in order to work, but it does work very effectively. That's just my opinion. There are other plans that might work quicker, but in my opinion, they don't come anywhere close to being healthy. But they're on here. Just keep reading. Best to you!

Welcome, Dakrule! It's nice to have you with us! :)

Ppuffy is right. Losing 30 pounds in 30 days is a lot to ask of your body. On Atkins, the average person loses about 10% of their excess weight during the initial 2 week Induction period, and then their weight loss usually slows down to 1 or 2 pounds per week. The big losses you see posted are most often experienced by very heavy people, and by individuals who follow fairly intense exercise regimines.

Best of luck to you, though! :wave:

Welcome...

I totally agree.. that is a bit much to lose in one month... maybe you should reconsider the "healthy" part....

Welcome to LCing... it is a great way of life actually. I think if you are wanting to lose 30 pounds that fast you are kidding yourself. But, I wish you luck in your efforts. I have been LCing since the first of March. I've lost 47 pounds and am finally past the severe craving stage.
