How long should I do induction?

CalamityFrancis · #1 July 2nd, 2009, 03:06 PM

Hello all - I'm brand new here and just starting Atkins today. I've read and reserached quite a bit and am ready to go. Truth be told, this is already kind of tough!

Anyway, I have read that people do induction for various amounts of time. I am a 5'10, 226 lb man, 29 years old. My target weight is 185 lbs.

You do not have a great deal to lose, so the 'standard' 2 week induction is appropriate. When you move on to OWL, you will continue to lose weight, while learning good eating habits and what foods do not cause cravings/blood sugar issues for you. OWL also has a lot more variety - so it gets easier as time goes on
