Is it possible for me to drop 20 pound in one month on the atkins induction plan? (i know, i know, it's not healthy, should only loose 2 lbs/week.) Has anyone out there done this? I am willing to do what it takes. I have already lost 4 lbs. this week.

i lost 20 lbs in 1 month doing atkins, but it made me feel horrible. i felt down n depressed or i'd have weird mood swings. once ur in ketosis, that's when you start sheddin the lbs. to check to see where you are in ketosis, buy the strips that you pee on.

I did Atkins and lost 5 pounds. I did south beach and lost 20 but i gained it all back because i wasn't doing anything else. I have now lost 15 pounds with good eating habits and consistant exercise. I have turned fat into muscle and i feel great.

20 in a month may be a lot.
But my ex wife used this diet and was very dedicated to the concept. She did lose a lot of size. Her tummy got smaller and so the pants were fitting larger.
She was on it from Sept. 1 to early December that year.
When Christmas came and holiday stuff, she gained it all back.
But it is a good diet and you can reduce considerably.

nope youll lose about 14 pounds that way, but the atkins diet is full of crap. If you want to loose fast and safely just add apple cider vinegar pills to your diet 3 times a day it burns the fat and chloresterol out of your system for you and naturally speeds up your metabolism. they are cheap about 10-20$ for a 1 month supply you can buy any brand at any pharmacy or healthfood store

If you know, then why are you doing it? You could also lose 20 lbs a month by not eating, but that's not right. Lose as much as you want, but you will gain it all back as soon as you start eating normally again.
