What is average weekly/monthly weight loss?

I am currently on Atkins, and I just finished the Induction phase. I am looking at other low-carb diets now.

What is the average weekly or monthly weight loss on CALP? How does this compare with Atkins?

Hope someone who has tried both can help!

Thanks!

Weight loss

My previous experience is that I lost an average of 1-2 pounds per week on CAD. There is a little flow chart of things to do if you lose more than 2 pounds or less than 1 pound (average) weekly. This is in keeping with everything I had heard about the speed of "healthy" weight loss.

what I lost.......

The first two weeks that I was on CALP I lost quite a bit of weight. Now I am loosing about 2 lbs a week and I DO agree with what animaldoc said about loosing it at a healthy rate. It's VERY important to be good to yourself.

Don't be in a big hurry...... good things come to those who wait.
