Most people wouldn't lose anything near what you are, eating garbage on induction. They'd be lucky to even maintain much less lose.

I would encourage you to start following the rules of induction. If you aren't going to follow Atkins, please don't tell other people you're on Atkins. It really makes it an uphill climb for the rest of us.
For your information, on my other two inductions I lost tons of weight drinking caffeine and having the occasional carb bar or low carb ice cream snack. I'm sorry if that bothers you, but it worked for me. I really don't appreciate your condescending attitude, as if I'm not doing Atkins because *gasp* I was able to drink caffeine while doing induction. Every one of us reacts differently to things like caffeine or artificial sweeteners. Obviously I'm able to consume them and still manage to lose weight...so what?! That's MY body, not yours. And P.S. my diet is comprised of various meats and cheeses, as I wrote above; I'm not stuffing myself with low carb snacks. I've eaten one or two carb bars over a period of several days, snacking in little bits, while I did have a net 5 carb ice cream snack the other night. 9.5/10 of what I'm consuming is strictly zero-to-low carb and fresh so please don't refer to my induction regimen as "eating garbage". I didn't come here to brag, I came here for technical answers as to why my weight loss has been so rapid during this latest induction. I certainly didn't come here to be criticized and demonized by the likes of you so if that's all you're offering then please take it elsewhere.
