I think Atkins is a genius, love his plan BUT one of the major drawbacks is induction. Coming from a high-carb diet to 30 grams a day would undoubtedly give you the same results as induction, a la Protein Power.

The problem is, folks think that it's the induction level that gives them spectacular weight loss. So they continue on with 20 grams a day. They become fearful and living in a state of fear over what you eat is downright nasty.

Learn to expand your horizons and really enjoy eating. Add in a tomato or an onion.

Weight loss is rarely consistent on a downward curve. Up, down, down, up, flatline, up, down, etc. It's all part of the process.
