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. Do five 2-minute steaming sessions and allow your face to breath for a few moments in between each session. Same goes for your Con Air steamer, minus the towel.
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.
Hereâs what you can realistically expect to lose if youâre just starting a weight loss plan: The more weight you have to lose, the more you will initially lose. If you are 100 pounds overweight, youâll probably lose up to 20 pounds in your first month. This is simply because you have more bodyweight to lose. That and youâre going to lose a lot of water weight. But if you are already pretty lean and have 10 pounds to lose, you might only lose 1-2 pounds in a month. Most people will lose 1-2 pounds per week. Note how I said just said âpounds.â. This isnât pure body fat. The first week you will more lose more water, then it tapers off to 1-2 pounds per week.
