And place your face 5 â 10 inches away from the steam. Do not, I repeat, do NOT place your face incredibly close, because you risk burning or causing your skin to swell.

Dr Atkins claims you can expect to lose 6-10lb in the first two weeks of Induction, which should slow to 1-3lb a week once you enter the Ongoing Weight Loss Phase. During Pre-maintenance, you can expect to lose 1lb a week at most.

Next phase is Ongoing Weight Loss also known as OWL or the Atkins Diet Phase 2. Digestible carbs vs. Fiber Carbs: When you're counting carbs you only need to count Digestible carbs.
