The biggest reason is that we don't pay as much attention to our dietary intake and exercise routines. We get complacent. Another reason is that your body needs time to adjust to your new body weight and metabolic function. This becomes more critical the closer you get to your targeted body weight. The key point here is not to get discouraged.

Everyone is different because each person has a different body chemistry. Also, a tall, big-boned person is likely to lose more weight than someone who is short and small-boned.

Think about this example... A champion body-builder ready for a competition may weigh 220 pounds, yet may have only 3 to 5 percent of that body mass as fat. He is all bone and muscle, and very little fat - and his muscles show through because there is less fat to hide them. Now you would not say "He WEIGHS too much" at 220 pounds, would you? It's not the weight but the FAT that counts. You want to lose FAT without losing MUSCLE.

You will lose weight by walking in your WALKVEST with the weight prescribed in numbers 1 and 2. Weight loss occurs quickly if you exercise in the weighted WALKVEST frequently, 4 to 5 times a week.

Although it's tempting (and motivating) to lose a lot of weight quickly, this really hurts you in the long run, since you'll be losing muscle mass along with the fat. A rough rule of thumb is that you should lose no more than 2 pounds per week, with 1/2 to 1 pound being better. A more precise rule is that you should lose no more than 1 percent of your current body weight per week, so if you weigh 250 lb. (113 kg.), you could safely lose 2.5 lb. (1.13 kg.) per week.

Losing 5 Lbs During the First WeekWe are talking here about the "first" week because it's important to know that most diets result in successful weight loss at the onset but in most cases, this is essentially water loss.

I am tired all the time. I am on maintenance eating 20 or less carbs a day. What can I do, its difficult to sleep as well. I started Atikens 3 weeks ago and was just wondering how long each phase lasts for? My friend told me each phase is 2 weeks..is that true? And also- this might be a very dumb question but can you eat popcorn while doing the diet? Thanks!

In general, with water loss, you can expect to lose between three and four pounds the first week. Thereafter, one to two pounds per week is considered safe and effective weight loss.

The amount and speed of weight loss varies with individuals.

Bread on a weight loss dietTo eat bread while on a diet or to avoid? That's a good question. There can be several correct answers though. Are you limiting fats on your diet? If yes, than you can have your whole grain bread (no one benefits from refined white bread!) - especially if you do strength exercises. If, however, you are limiting carbohydrates and until you reach your weight loss goal, bread can be not a good idea, along with potatoes, rice, starchy vegetables, etc.

It takes 3,500 calories to burn one pound. We recommend that you lose that pound through a healthy combination of diet and exercise. The amount you lose will depend upon how many calories you take in and how much energy you expend. Here's an example. If you eat 2,000 calories a day, decrease that amount by 300 calories a day (one slice of pizza) and add in 200 calories worth of exercise (a 20-minute walk), your daily calorie deficit will be 500 calories which will burn one pound per week.

Also I wasn't too concerned when I was busy stuffing myself and stretching it out, was I? Harsh? Maybe, but the truth. I choose to face the truth of what I did to my body. My skin has went back rather nicely, but the skin that hasn't well I just look at it and let it remind me of what living an unhealthy lifestyle can get you. Don't let the fear of loose skin keep you from losing weight.

If after reducing your fat intake to 30% of total calories, you still need to lose some body fat, the only change you need to make to your diet is to lower the amount of total calories you consume. Everything else stays the same. You still want to eat a balanced, healthy diet by eating some foods from each food group; as well as keep your fat intake at or below 30%. Reducing the amount of calories in the foods you choose doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite foods.

No. But I did lose 100 pounds in 6 months. Since Kimkins appeared on the Woman's World cover, I've been glued to my computer. I'm no different than you and I'm very familiar with stress eating or grabbing what's handy instead of what's Kimkins friendly. Yes, but that's due to personal issues and is no reflection on Kimkins. I've been back on track for several months and have lost 50+ pounds. You can track my progress on the Kimkins homepage.

Sorry, but there's no simple answer to this question. The best way to lose weight is through a combination of eating fewer calories and burning off more by means of exercise.

But remember the time it takes is not important, it's keeping the weight off that's the most important thing.
