Welcome ThinMom2B!!
You'll love the support you get in this forum. The people here are wonderful. I would highly recommend starting a journal in the forum. People will post advice and encouragement in it and you can do the same in theirs. Go to the "Journals/Bootcamp" room and start a thread, that thread becomes your journal, so name the title wisely! You'll see it adds a journal button to your posts.
Your questions:
1) Water is crucial to flushing out the system and for weight loss. It's recommended 64 oz. or more a day. People here drink a ton of water. I try drink so much I have to pee every 30 minutes or so, doesn't always happen, but I try! I would also recommend using vitamins and supplements. I noticed a big difference from not taking them on my first time on induction and then taking them the next time.
2) The Atkins bars are listed on their site as ok during induction. I use them and the shakes often for breakfast and it's not been a problem. People have differing opinions on this....
3) Weight loss on induction varies, some people lose 6 some lose up to 14, it all depends on your body, your resistance to weight loss, etc. I seem to lose about 10 lbs on induction. The book has good info and some charts on this issue.
Hope that helps!
Emily
