I know that in phase one your supposed to lose 5-10 pounds but since I only need to lose 10 I hope I lose about 1 pound a week but I;m not too sure what will happen. I decided to write something just for moral support especially since I give in to temptation very easily!
Also I was wondering- since I will probably only lose around 1 pound a week do I need to do induction for longer than 2 weeks or will my body plateau?
Thanks!!!! =) | Welcome to the Board, Jasmina! You should definitely do Induction if you want to get into ketosis by doing Atkins. There is no way to know exactly how much you will lose or whether you will plateau. However, if you want to follow Atkins for life, you should go through all its phases, as described in DANDR.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
