Atkins Diet Quick Hits - How long to do Induction?
Yazar: admin September 7, 2008
I produced another Atkins Diet Quick Hits videos. In this one, I deal with question of how long to stay on Induction and what the warning signs to progress to the Ongoing Weight Loss Phase. I normally get this question from those with lots to lose or those people who become carb phobic. My response normally goes - you can stay on Induction for a really long time, but you should progress to OWL when you hit one of the warning conditions.
Here are the warning signs:
1. poor exercise performance, prolonged fatigue, or tiredness
2. Blood work comes back out of whack - One of mine came back borderline for globulin, the doc recommended I start eating nuts. I had it rechecked shortly thereafter, and it was fine.
3. Boredom with the food choices.

Treats: Celery with …
Treats: Celery with Philadelphia Cream Cheese (full fat 1 8th of 200g packet) Hard Boiled Eggs. No deviled eggs. Make about 5 every night. Oh and one important thing - nothing else NOTHING even if the urge is too much - when the urge to eat candy hits - go out walking and drink 8 pints of water a day minimum. I walked 3 miles a day sometimes 6. No weight training. Good Luck.
Breakfast: 2 Bacon …
Breakfast: 2 Bacon Rashers & 2 Eggs with 1 chicken sausage (get from butcher and ask whats inside should be chicken and herbs only) Lunch: Medium salad (cucumbers, lettuce (iceberg) 1 spring onion diced, 4 button mushrooms diced,mozzarella cheese diced, tiny amount of cheddar cheese grated 1 oz, 1 oz of spinach raw, cauliflower florets 3 small) salad dressing oil & vinegar or Kraft Italian half a teaspoon for flavor Dinner: Chicken, Cabbage & Cauliflower with tablespoon of gravy mix.
for reals all that …
for reals all that weight ? good job can u tell me what u ate?
I would wait with …
I would wait with milk and gradually add it back until I had progressed to OWL. Milk packs a healthy carb load at 12g of sugar in 8oz. If you are looking for something less acidic, remember other dairy options are still open to you, like cream and cheese (especially cream cheese). However, during OWL you find your CCLL, and if that means you can drink 2 glasses for 24g that is certainly OK. You just need to add it gradually.
Hi,
I have been on …
Hi,
I have been on Induction for 3 weeks now, and have seen a reduction of weight of 50 lbs. I am keeping to my regime of Bacon & Eggs for breakfast, Salad for lunch and Chicken or Mince Steak with cabbage and Cauliflower, and I find it is indeed a life long diet. I want to keep on Induction for another month or 50 lbs, but I’m scared of adding foods. My Digestive system is mostly acid. Is there any chance I can add milk to my Induction Diet?
Buy some “KETONE” …
Buy some “KETONE” strips, or you’ll never know weather or not you are burning fat or carbs(KETOSIS).They are simple litmus strips that tell you what you body is burning.
Second research, research, research the carb content of the foods your eating(and watch BOWULF’s videos). Unfortunately, there are hidden carbs in most processed foods. Closely moniter what you are eating and use the KETONE strips to see(and eliminate) the foods that are causing your problems.
I sincerely hope this helps.
I look at the …
I look at the disappointment — obviously you can’t correct past events any longer, but you can prevent them from happening again. I would go back into Induction, get my eating under control again without cravings, and then decide for myself on where to head next.
About why no losses, start recording what you are eating like the video said, and we can perhaps spot what is going on. Stopping the convenience and sugar alcohols is a good first step, but there could be others.
I never started OWL …
I never started OWL, I stayed on induction because I want to get down to 140 by late oct. So I figured it would help. I just feel lost and aggravated because I dont know how my bodies working so I dont know how to adjust it. U Know?? I got so disappointed last night I gave in and made myself a huge sandwich and today I didnt start induction over. So what do u think I should do next. Ive watched both videos. Should I restart induction and go onto OWL even if I dont lose in the next 2 weeks???
Watch my what do …
Watch my what do about a stall and the “why am I not losing videos.” They may apply to your situation. To what rung did you make it to in OWL?
Hi, Thanx in …
Hi, Thanx in advance for your help!! I started atkins induction about 6 weeks ago and I did it for 2 weeks straight. I lost 9 pounds which is great but I havent been able to lose anything else. My weight wont change AT ALL ive been @ 161 for the last 3 weeks. So I eliminated all atkins products (just in case) and no help. I gave myself a 2 day break so that maybe I can boost my body to lose again and nothing. I just dont know what to do anymore. Please help!!!
It was the how much …
It was the how much could they lose in 20 days and stick to it for the rest of their life.He did look at your videos and he learned having that quick weight lose doesn’t work so he is trying the life lesson
Thanks for your answer though.
IF they were only …
IF they were only on this plan for only 20 days, it would not matter. (as any losses would be temporary) If the question is how much could they lose in first 20 days of the rest of their life following the lessons the learned on the diet, the answer is “it depends.” Watch one of my first videos where I deal with this question. It varies so much on the individual - most people lose 5-10% of their intended weight loss.
Just out of curiousity, which type of question was it?
Sorry but one more …
Sorry but one more question.I am not so sure about this question but my friend wants to know how much would an average person lose if they were on this plan in 20 days if they follow what you say.
I never did, but …
I never did, but the real question is can you? Dr. A says cheating is the kiss of death, but some big losers like Jimmy Moore swears by them. For me, cheat days would happen more and more often, and eventually lead me back to where I started. I talk from my own experience, but there are definitely other big losers’ experiences.
I might be just the guy who played safe because I sensed I had a lot to lose. (healthwise)
I was wondering …
I was wondering when you said not to have a cheat day but what if you follow the program and your strictly on the diet but maybe once every month or so you can have a cheat day where you have your cookies or your “Christmas meal” but the next day your right back on the diet.Could that be tolerated?
I am not a huge …
I am not a huge believer in the Yogurt exception as no one has ever tested how active the yogurt cultures are and how much glucose they consume when chilled. The exception says that the yogurt bacteria actually eat all the sugar in yogurt, and the actual carbs are actually much lower than the listed carbs due to this digestion while in transport.
what´s actually the …
what´s actually the so called “Yogurt exception” Im thinking aboiut adding daily Kefir cups when I reach OWL.
Could be Induction …
Could be Induction flu with ketosis setting in again, or it could your body’s way of telling you to progress to OWL. The appetite suppression is amazing when it hits, but it is important to eat something. Watch it for a few days, and if it sticks around, start with OWL.
I have to say I …
I have to say I started Atkin’s a month ago and your videos have been a HUGE help. I love them! I was just curious having been on induction for about a month. I feel great and have had no bad reactions to induction, but for this last week I had a couple days were I had a substantial loss of appetite for anything. Even your low carb choco cake (SHOCKER!). Could it have been slight induction flu? or does it sometimes just happen?
It’s easy to do to …
It’s easy to do to get out of normal concerned over good carbs — not the nasty added for no reasons to meat. I am specifically referring to things like more veggies, melon, dairy (yogurt), or even corn every once in awhile. There are good things in this world that given the right low carb platform are fine to re-add. Find your CCLL, and exploit it.
Like I said to the OP, you know your tastes and what you want. I could live a long time on Induction and not be bored.
Thanks - I have …
Thanks - I have never felt better too.
Thank you for the …
Thank you for the info……I fall in the later category, and am now am going to take a step up…..and do on going weight loss.
