At a faster rate than what? How would you know how much you would have lost if you had moved up to OWL?

How much weight do you have to loose? I thought when I first started that I needed to stay in induction longer than the 2 weeks - but I didn't loose any more weight until I went to OWL Rung 1 and added 5 additional net carbs.Carole_____________________May Water 130oz daily

Re: Day 12- DOWN 8lbs !!!!
I need to lose 45lbs. This hasnt been a bad as I thought it might be!! The snack bars have helped a lot with sweet cravings and in between meals.
I guess when I said faster rate, I meant- did anyone stay on induction longer and continue a fast rateof weight loss after the initial two weeks...
ThanksComment

What "snack bars"?The snack bars
They only fed your sweet tooth. You might want to break your addiction to sweets instead of feeding it.helped a lot with sweet cravings
I'm sure there had been some. It doesn't mean it's the best strategy for you.did anyone stay on induction longer and continue a fast rateof weight loss after the initial two weeks
Atkins really isn't about losing weight fast. You need to learn new eating habits, so that you are able to maintain your weight once at goal. OWL and Pre-Maintenance are essential for learning new habits... and it takes time for them to become ingrained."Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."

Re: Day 12- DOWN 8lbs !!!!
If you were talking about the Atkins snack or meal bars, they arent allowed on the Induction phase. And look at the back, they have alot of carbs!! I too saw ads for these thinking they were great and legal for all phases, but thats just marketing trying to make money....Always read your labels! And come here for any advice. I am on Induction also. Good job on your weightloss thusfar, and to make sure you are still seeing results and learning this WOE, stick with the accepted food lists and you wont go wrong!!CLB121
