Christmas deadline

[AnInnocentAbroad]

if I am really good and really go for it and cut out alcohol and do the Atkins Diet properly how much weight do you think I can hope to lose by Christmas. I need to lose about 8-10kg in my fantasy world and my BMI is 28....

How about dukan? I have lost 18 lb in a month.
No booze
No sugar
30 min walk every day
Brutal YES bit omg it works! Good luck x

The walking isn't a problem - I usually manage 45-50 minutes per day. Booze no problem and I don't eat much sugar anyway. Are these requirements on top of the draconian Dukan attack phase?? Please explain in more detail and, wow, well done on the weight loss!

I think you could do this on dukan - best to buy the book. I think for me every area of my life had to change. I ate and drank way too much and did no exercise, hence big loss.
You need to have maybe 4 or 5 days days 'attack' which is protein only and at least 2 litres water. Low fat yoghurt - no fruit ones, eggs, tuna, meats etc only. No fruit no veg! Have a read of old dukan threads - v helpful when you new to it.
It's harsher than Atkins but I needed that
