Example Weight Loss on the Atkins Diet

On August 30, 2003, my wife and I decided to start the Atkins Diet. She had purchased the book the day before and had spent several hours reading through it.

I'm 6 foot 3 inch tall and have been somewhat overweight most of my life. For the 2 1/2 months prior to starting the Atkins Diet, my weight averaged 261 pounds. Most troublesome for me was the fact that my weight had been inching slowly upward. The day we started the Atkins Diet, I weighed in at an all-time high of 264 pounds!

A summary of my initial weekly weight loss is shown below. For more details, see my Atkins Diet Example.
