Re: General Induction Questions from NEWBIE | | I hope you've already checked out the stickies on this forum and looked at all frequently-asked questions. Most people have the same or similar questions and the answers are usually available without much of a search.
Calories don't count in induction. Trust me. Eat. Within a week, you won't be hungry at all, and you'll be forcing yourself to eat, because if you don't eat ENOUGH calories, you won't lose.
Yes, everyone loses with 20 net carbs.
And 2-4 miles on average a day is enough exercise. Try an aqua aerobics class if your knee bothers you. You will want,eventually, to get into some weight training to build lean muscle mass, which will help you lose faster and more consistently.
