Re: day 14
The next step is up to you. You can move to extended induction or to OWL. Check out both forums and decide what is best for you. When I was done induction I did 2 weeks extended induction then went to OWL. In 7 months I lost 60 pounds with no cheats...then fell off the wagon and regained 33. Lost 8 last week.
I think my only advice to you would be to not be scared to move to OWL. Some extended induction is okay but you really shouldn't lose almost all your weight on it as an important part of making Atkins your life time eating plan is doing the steps and learning what foods your body reacts too and what your carb level is. IF you read the posts in that forum you will see that many people continue to lose at a steady pace. Some people who stalled out on extended induction broke the stall by moving on to OWL.
Good luck in what ever you choose to do. Well done on your work so far!!!Elsie150

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it. ~Maya Angelo~ -

Woohoo - weigh to go!!
Congratulations on your loss so far
As Elsie has said, the next step is up to you to decide on, so read the sticky called 'Day 15 - should i stay or should I go (to OWL)' which is among the threads at the top of this forum http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ead.php?t=5780
and the relevant chapters in DANDR to help you make your decision.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

Re: day 14
Deciding whether or not to move onto OWL is also covered in DANDR. There is a Chapter devoted to questions and answers to point you in the right direction.
Best wishes.
