Question How much exercise while on induction??

I'm normally VERY active and go to the gym about 5 days a week, and lift quite heavy also. But while I'm on induction I'll be toning it down so that I don't lose muscle mass. How much exercise should I be doing (or NOT doing)? I don't want to over-do it, but I want to stay active, and I love going to my gym. I'm trying to blast this last bit of fat that exercise isn't helping. I have had great success, and muscle tone develop in my arms, but I need to get rid of my jiggle bum and hips I'm on day two of induction and have lost some water weight (it can't possibly be fat this soon) and deep into the pink on my keto strips. I'm drinking green tea 2-3 times per day and trying to drink more water also.
Any advice?
Thanks!!

You won't lose muscle mass if you follow induction and eat enough protien and fat. That is the point of induction to teach your body to use fat as fuel instead of carbs and muscle. You are supposed to eat enough that your body does not go into starvation mode and start consuming your muscle. You can exersice normally on induction, but watch for cramping and make sure you add the potassium and other vitamins that atkins calls for.

Thanks Dug! I'll make sure I'm eating enough! It's tough sometimes to be creative. I had an Atkin's wrap from Subway today and it was SO good! I'll also be eating a lot of eggs I think...and thank goodness I have the LC tortillas!
