How long should you stay on induction
I began Atkins officially on 11/18/02, didn't have a good day on Thanksgiving, was really good up until a 2 day business trip to NY, where I drank and ate some carbs. No binging or anything, but polite eating at a business dinner. I also had one Pepsi last week because I was at a closing and started coughing from a cold I caught. they only had Pepsi to offer me, and I took it.
Anyway, I'm down 5 pounds in 5 weeks. I know I stalled after each miss, and each one took about a week before I saw a loss again.
I suspect that inspite of the oopses, I am a slow loser anyway. So, how long is induction the way to go. should I have a goal during induction and then go to OWL? I still have about 39 lbs to lose. At a pound a week, that's a long time, and if I slow the weight loss, that seems excessive.
I'm eating well with these 20 allowed carbs, and sometimes a little over but more likely just under.
Any thoughts?
