Can someone tell me how many calories, fat, etc I'm suppose to take in on induction?

The required caloric intake is tricky. The number really depends on your age, metabolism, activity level, weight, etc. and also on the foods where those calories are coming from. As Dr. Atkins explains in DANDR, you should eat if hungry or if six hours have passed since your last meal. You should also stop eating when you are satisfied, not full or stuffed.

"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!"
