Besides, you should not advise people to eat 50-70 g of carbohydrate and skip Induction, because you admitted that you never tried this firsthand. Well how do you know it works if you've never tried it?
Whether one loses weight or not by eating a certain amount of net carbohyrates depends on that person's CCLL and reaction to different foods. 20 g of net carbohydrate, which is the limit during Induction, is what Dr. Atkins observed it is enough to allow the majority of his patients to get into ketosis within 2-4 days. What is written in the book is not based on Dr. Atkins' guestimates, but on actual research.

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!"
