Atkins Diet weight loss
from 1 to 60 weeks on the diet

The data are obtained from our
site visitors who shared their results with us.
I
happened to read, listen, and even view on TV, opinions expressed
by MDs, nutritionists, and dietitians, that weight loss due to the diet
is
in fact a water loss. Hard to agree, if you look at this chart. The

I happened to read, listen, and even view

What you see here is: how much weight have
lost every of over 600 dieters
who reported both how much they've lost and for how long they have been
dieting.
As you can see, the absolute champion is
the person who lost an incredible
248 Lb. in 48 weeks. There're also a few people who were dieting the
same
48 weeks with less Lb. lost, but still there are impressive results,
from
25 to 100 plus Lb. Can anybody imagine it was pure water?
You can also see that there were failures -
look at the dots sitting
on the zero Lb. on the time axis. Some people were trying hard up to
more
than 20 weeks still losing nothing. We'll see later is they gained
anything
instead, here I'd like to emphasize that nobody has reported weight
gain.
There were differences in what weight could
be lost in the same time
span: see how some of the dots are lined up vertically? For instance,
while
dieting for 12 weeks, some lost up to 50 Lb. and one person lost
nothing. It can be easily explained by differences in exercise
regiments or in cheating habits. However, there is the clear trend: the
more time on diet - the more Lb. lost (the red curve). How long did it
last? The answer is coming next.
