My mom is doing Atkins also....I started as a way to give her support because she has alot of medical issues that are weight related. I, of course, also need to lose weight too...lol. Anyway...my mom's dr put her on atkins but also told her to stay on induction and every 15th day go off of it. Then back on the 16th day. I haven't gone off of it since I started, even tho my mom did. I'm wondering if the dr. is having her do this so it will shock her body into losing weight like starting a clean induction every 16th day?

Anybody else heard of this?
