Virginia, you don't have to stop exercising forever. But you do need to let your body adapt to burning a new fuel. All LC plans suggest that you curtail activities when you switch from glucose to fatty acids. Take the time off, rest up and get familiar with your plan then ease back into working out slowly and build up to your preLC intensity levels. You'll still lose the fat during the 2 weeks of induction and you'll be ready to start pushing your metabolism into overdrive when you start back up.
