    Should I keep on trucking?

    I mean i've lost 11lbs in now my 11th day of induction. Should I go for a 3 or 4 week induction period??

    My main goal is to lose 30-35lbs. I'm a 1/3 of the way there. I know I should probably go to OWL after the 14th day, but i'm loving the fast results!!

    OWL doesn't mean that the results slow down... for some people, OWL speeds up results, or can break a stall. OWL teaches you how to eat this way for the rest of your life, and what foods can trigger responses in your body. It also teaches you your CCL and fun things like that.

      The book (DANDR) talks about spending two months losing the last 10 pounds while learning to adjust your eating habits so that you can maintain your goal weight for life. While I can certainly sympathize with the quick weight loss option, I can also see the benefit of learning to eat properly for long term results rather than reaching goal on 20 carbs, going back to a poor eating plan with unchecked, unhealthy carbs and finding yourself right back where you began a year from now. I suggest either moving on to the later stages of the Atkins plan or reassessing your goal weight if you possible aimed low and could stand to lose more -- without knowing your stats (age, height, weight, etc), it's hard to make a fair judgement. Congrats on the weight loss to date and good luck in making the correct decision for the future!

        Thanks for the advice. I will only run it 1 week longer at most then continue with OWL. Sound advice!

          I think you just made a very wise decision!!!

          Induction is great, but it's only a beginning. Once you're closing in on your goal weight/measurements, OWL is the place to be. It will get you into a mode where you can still lose, but learn more about which types of carbs your system can really tolerate.

          You've done great so far and I'm sure you'll continue to succeed. Keep up the good work!

          Original goal: Lose 30 lbs by Mar. 1st, 2006. I made it!!!

          Calling it GOAL at this point. I'm happy with where I am now and hope to stay there, or maybe even take it down a little more.

            Owl isn't a big change. For me Owl has been tossing onions in with my sauteed radishes or eating the 'warmed with cinnamon and butter' pumpkin puree. Delicious and satisfying, and still in lipolysis just fine.
