Default Newbie-Question on induction

Hi everyone,

I just started on Atkins 3 days ago. I'm looking to lose 12 pounds. At what point can I start adding carbs? (I'm at 20g a day right now.) I was going to start adding after 2 weeks.

I have to say that this is much easier than I expected it would be. I haven't lost any weight yet, but I've lost an inch in my waist and hips already!

Congratulations and welcome!
The general rule of Atkins thumb is to begin incorporating more carbs after 2 weeks. Generally 5 per week. When you stop losing you will know how many carbs you can safely eat and still maintain your current weight.

Good luck!
