    Question: How long have you been doing induction?

    I'm not, I'm onto rung 4 tomorrow :P The berry rung. Ah, something to look forward to eh? No, my favorite was dairy oh and the nut rung! Oh lookit me trying to entice you with owl! Really, it's what to look forward to and so, if you're not really moving with the weight loss thing and you've been doing induction for a while, do this, take how many pounds you want to lose and multiply that by 10% or even 15%. What number do you get? Have you already lost that much or even surpassed that? If so, PLEASE, go to OWL. This is the farthest I've ever gone on Atkins and I can honestly say that I am satisfied. SATISFIED and dieting? yeah, that's OWL folks. My losses continued and picked up since I began owl. Give it a few minutes thought and see if maybe YOU want to get on with it.

    Okay okay! You've convinced me. Hearing that your rate of weight loss picked up once you started OWL is a relief. I've been on Extended Induction since June 8, and fear of not losing fast enough is what was holding me back. So thanks for the enouragement!

        I'm going to go on it too... i've been on induction for well over a year and i'm OVER IT. Massively petrified of going to OWL because i'v been eating like this for so long. I ate an extra cup of cabbage with my dinner last night... which is around 3 carbs more.... ok start? hehe

            Re: Question: How long have you been doing induction?

            I was on induction for 8 months and I lost 22lbs. I then started having a legal but naughty induction - where i had diet soda and coffee (actually i had coffee the whole time) but i had about half an atkins bar every one or two days etc.... didnt lose a thing, actually gained a few - then for the last month iv been back to normal induction.

            So i had 8 months clean, 3 dirty, 1 clean clean....

            However my dirty wasnt that dirty.

              Re: Question: How long have you been doing induction?

              i also need to add that i was never particularly overweight and therefore the 'change' in my eating/body shape wasnt THAT massive, where as someone with a lot fo weight to lose would lose FAR MORE than this in that time.

              I didnt have THAT much to lose, so it is/was harder.

                wow. that's very discouraging. I have like 175 to lose. I was thinking staying in the induction phase as long as I could would only help not hurt.

                    BU, you only need to stay in induction until you reach 15 percent loss. For you thats like 26 pounds. It's not necessary to stay on induction! You lose continuously! I promise!!

                      No! Don't be discouraged. You have some weight to lose so you will lose it quickly and well! Im little and dont weigh much so my body is hanging on to the last founds for dear life!

                      If i was your i'd stay on extrended induction for 2 months, then move on.

                      Only stay on induction longer if you have WILL OF STEEL or you're going to lose the plot.

                              thanks for the info Disco. let me ask you this, do the "rungs" go by 2 week periods each? or did you just see what you could add without interrupting ketosis? I assume that the goal is to stay in ketosis all through the WOL.
