Hello Chezy and welcome to ADBB! This is a great place to come to if you're looking for support to motivate and boost your will power. I'm sure that if you come to the board often, you'll become a big loser and find the determination to stick to this way of eating.

Yes, induction is two weeks... after that you can continue in extended induction or move to OWL (ongoing weight loss).

I'd advise you to check out the induction forum where there are lots of stickies giving information about the first phase of Atkins. Here are two useful links:
The Rules of Induction can be found here:
What are the Rules of Induction?

The Induction Acceptable Foods List can be found here:
What foods can be eaten on Induction?

Note that 20g carbs is the induction limit.

A clean induction is important because you'll be able to determine your level of metabolic resisitence from the amount you lose during the first two weeks.

Best wishes on your Atkins journey to better health and a trim figure. Do keep us posted as to how you get along!

Hi, Sally's already given you great advice to get you started in the right direction. I just want to add that we're very happy to have you join us and look forward to hearing about your success. Also....if you haven't already...take some measurements. Losing the inches is greater motivation than watching the scale numbers go down. WELCOME!!
