So, this may seem a ridiculous question, but, I have been on Atkins for 2 days and have not lost a pound. I actually may have gained a pound. I am also using the urine strips to check for ketones and they are showing negative. Is this normal? Or indicative that I am doing something wrong? Or, am I just impatient? :)

You are impatient, give it 30 days. What is your carb intake per day? What are your meals looking like? Current stats and goals? – Wayne In ML Oct 3 '12 at 15:00

Questions about nutrition that don't relate to exercise are off topic according to the FAQ. – Informaficker Oct 3 '12 at 15:03
That's weird, because when I search for a site on stack exchange for "nutrition" I get this beta site, which has a tag for fitness and nutrition. Is there not a nutrition site? I mean, you might as well bring the 2 together, they have very close ties. – Ben Sewards Oct 4 '12 at 3:10
@BenSewards fitness.SE was fitness&nutrition, when it was defined on area51. But the nutrition part unrelated to exercise was removed from the sites scope due to a lack of professional expertise. – Informaficker Oct 4 '12 at 11:08
There is, however, a proposal for a nutrition site on area51. – Informaficker Oct 4 '12 at 11:25
