More questions for you********
 
OK I have thought of a few questions
If I lost 8 lbs on the first week of induction, mostly water I am assuming. How come I have not gained any back seeing now it is 3 weeks later?
If I lost so well on the first week, is it possible to stop induction for a week by slight upping carbs over 20/day and then do induction for another 2 weeks for another quick weight loss?

Yes some of the first pounds are water, but not all, like some anti Atkins would like us to beleive,lol.

No just do the plan as it is laid out, this is'nt meant for a quick loss, you'll have many weeks of no loss at all, but you must stick with it, as your body just needs a break, before it gives up anymore fat.

Cheers Kathy

Re-inducting could be a good trick if one has fallen off the wagon, binged or had a longer stall - to clean the body out and kickstart ketosis again. However, I kept to 20g carbs for three months and never again experienced the major whoosh of the initial two weeks.

I would use the plan as it is laid out in Atkin's. Just like Gilibel said, reintroducing induction would be a good alternative to those who are stalling or "fallen off of the wagon". Remember to look at this as a NWOE, not just a quick weight loss plan.

All good advice above. Before you start fiddling with your eating, instead of doing the plan as written, you might want to read this article: One Golden Shot
