Re: how long do i do induction ???
It's 14 days generally. You can stay on longer if you feel you should, but it's still induction. It's so much healthier to progress to the different phases, welcome back!
The stickies in the induction sections are very thorough in discussing the ins and outs of it. I wouldn't want to tell you something inaccurate.

Re: how long do i do induction ???
With 41.5 pounds to lose, I would do Induction until I had my eating under control and was firmly in ketosis (symptoms, strips). I stayed on Induction a long time (about 1 year), but as you can tell I had a lot more to lose. The majority of the normal Atkineer weightloss should be during OWL, so get your eating under control in the first 14 or so days, then start figuring out your CCLL with the addition of more veggies. The exact amount of time *you* is really up to you and your appetite.Kent - 35-M-6'4"

Re: how long do i do induction ???
Definitely. I think I said what i did wrong. It's healthy to progress as opposed to staying on induction forever. I'm still on induction also, it's been a month.

Re: how long do i do induction ???
I did Induction for 3 weeks, then moved on to OWL. Moving on has made this so much easier for me, and I am so glad I moved. You will keep losing weight, and you will learn how to keep the weight off long term. You will love OWL!!!
What would we do without it?

Re: how long do i do induction ???
I am still on induction and I started on January 1st this year. I intend to stay on it until I am half way to my goal and then begin on the rungs. I feel comfortable with my choice and I have gotten lots of ideas on the board to keep from getting bored. Some, however, chose only two do it for the traditional two weeks. I think it is whatever seems to be working for you!Comment

Re: how long do i do induction ???
Good job Ms Blue for understanding what works for you. You have to know yourself and what you require in terms of freedom of food. I loved the consistency and ease of shopping during the Induction and EI phases. Good job on having a plan!Kent - 35-M-6'4"
