If you only need to lose 20 pounds, you shouldn't stay on induction for any longer than the two weeks. After that, you need to go on to phase two and phase three.

if i get on atkins, can i keep losing weight as much as i want to until i stop the induction phase?
and how do you deal with your cravings for cake, chocolate, donuts????

Well, your body is different than mine. I lose weight faster because I have more weight on me to begin with. It might take longer than a month for you, but it'll work. You have to buy the book and follow it though. You can't just follow bowulf and be successful.

do you recommend going on atkin's diet if my goal is only 20 lbs?
TrueLoveWithin (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
I gained back the 85, plus 50. But, any diet I go on, if I quit it, I'll gain weight back plus more. I'd rather be on this than diet pills. If I do this diet correctly, by the time I'm done, I'll make positive lifestyle changes. Things like diet pills and Slimfast would not do that for me. I've lost 25 pounds in the past month.

so you were off the atkins for four years, how much more weight did you gain during that time?
because i want to start atkins, but im afraid ill gain weight if i stop it.

When I lost 85 pounds on Atkins, I wound up with a boyfriend. Well, his apartment had no stove, so all I ate was Chinese food, cereal and chocolate Entenmann's cake. When we broke up, I went on vacation with my folks, only to wind up cheating at restaurants. It was so depressing the first time I realized my pants were getting too tight again. I'm back on it now, after 4 years off being off.

It's the worst when you go out with friends who want to eat like pigs and go to McDonalds at 2 in the morning... it messes up your whole diet... and that's only a few of the problems. |
