The forum you are looking for is "Newbie Questions" and is a subforum under the "Introduction" forum which is the first group of forums in the list. Since this is clearly an Atkins' specific question, this is as good a place as any to place it - though you might ask it over there as well to see what people on the other plans are doing.

As for me - I figure that the guy that wrote the book knows a hell of a lot more about this than me. He has spent a career exploring all of these issue. While it's true that he doesn't know my body and its unique requirements, I have to at least give him the benefit of the doubt until my knowledge of my body improves enough for me to make informed decision that are not in keeping with his general recommendations. So, during Induction, I tried to keep my carb count between 15 and 20 grams. For the most part I was successful, but some days I was down to 10g and one a couple of occasions I edged just about 20g.

Now that I am off Induction, I am staying pretty close to those levels - 25g to 35g - since I have a LONG way to go and since my weight loss is none too stunning. Acceptable, but not stellar.

Once I begin BFL next week, I am going to go to about 50g of carbs and adjust from there.
