Hi Debbie,

I was having the problem with the limit on veggies in Induction too (the only thing about Atkins induction that frustrated me) and Karen pointed out something very sensible - that Atkins may be limiting the veggies to get people used to counting carbs. I also started adding more veggies in induction as my carb count allowed and I didn't notice any particular effect on weight. At least we have the opposite problem of most people - they can't figure out how to get the veggies in!

As to weight, I've been on LCing for about a month now and I've also only lost 5 pounds. But the bennefits have been wonderful, way beyond the scale - feeling more energy, my close bag on me, feeling lighter. I suspect I'm losing inches even though the scale has stalled for a couple of weeks. Also, a lot of people have said that weight loss on LCing comes in fits and starts - so it might seem slow but you might experience a pretty big drop at some point.

Don't lose faith - this is a great WOL!!!

Tam
