Folks...

legalcarb has less than 20 pounds to lose. Dr. Atkins recommends that those folks start off in the ongoing weight loss phase (OWL), not strict induction.

Legalcarb...

Since you have so little (relatively) to lose, you can expect that it will come off rather slowly, but yes low carb works. Those that start off needing to lose a lot of weight will loose quickest (generally) and those that start off needing to only lose a few pounds will lose the slowest.

You may want to stick closer to 30 grams of carb per day to facilitate weight loss, but if you find that you can lose on 50 grams, great!
