INDUCTION PHASE
Are You Metabolically Resistant?
After two weeks on Induction, you will have a good idea of how easily you
lose weight, which will allow you to further personalize the path you take to
your goal weight.
When it comes to being able to lose weight quickly, we are all definitely not
created equal. That’s what metabolic resistance means. Your metabolism is
affected by a variety of factors, including gender, hormonal status, activity
level and genetics. (Certain pharmaceutical drugs also slow down your
metabolism.) While you do not have control over most of these factors, most
people find
that if they increase their activity level, they can diminish their metabolic
resistance.
During Induction you consume no more than 20 grams of Net Carbs per day. The
carbohydrate level is extremely low to demonstrate that it’s possible for
virtually everybody to experience weight loss. If you followed the Induction
phase
to the letter, you probably lost some weight. The more weight you lost, the
less metabolically resistant you are. The less weight lost, the more
metabolically resistant you are. So, your weight loss results in the first 14
days of
Induction will give you a general understanding of your personal degree of
metabolic resistance.
The metabolic resistance tables below (one for men, one for women) spell out
three degrees of metabolic resistance at three different levels of obesity:
Weight Loss During the First Two Weeks on Induction
Degree of Metabolic Resistance for Men
Pounds Lost in First 14 Days
Pounds to LoseHighAverageLow
Less than 20468
20-506912
More than 5081216
Degree of Metabolic Resistance for Women
Pounds Lost in First 14 Days
Pounds to LoseHighAverageLow
Less than 20246
20-50369
More than 504812
Here’s how this information can be helpful to you as you proceed with your
weight loss efforts:
If you have high metabolic resistance and have a lot of weight to lose, it
would be advisable to stay in Induction longer.
If you have average metabolic resistance and a lot of weight to lose, you may
also want to stay in Induction longer.
If you have low metabolic resistance and a lot of weight to lose, the choice
is up to you. Move to OWL and slow down your weight loss in exchange for more
variety in your meals or stay in Induction until you have shed more weight.
If you have low metabolic resistance and have just a little weight to lose,
you should definitely move on to the Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) phase so that
you can move through all the phases before reaching your goal weight.
If you have little or a moderate amount of weight to lose and low or average
metabolic resistance, the choice is also up to you.
If you have not much weight to lose but high metabolic resistance, you can
also choose to move to OWL if you are willing to lose weight more slowly.
What You Can and Cannot Eat in Induction
You can eat the following foods liberally during Induction:
All fish**
All poultry
All shellfish*
All red meat**
All eggs
Special Considerations:
*Oysters and mussels are higher in carbs than other shellfish, so eat no more
than 4 oz. a day.
**Processed meats, such as ham, bacon, pepperoni, salami, hot dogs and other
luncheon meats â and some fish â may be cured with sugar or contain fillers
that contribute carbs.
Avoid meat and fish products cured with nitrates, which are known
carcinogens. Also beware of products that are not exclusively meat, fish or
fowl, such as
imitation crabmeat, fish sticks, meatloaf and breaded foods.
Do not consume more than 4 oz. of organ meats a day.
Other Permissible Foods During Induction
Cheese
You can consume 3-4 oz. daily of the following full-fat, firm, soft and
semi-soft aged cheeses, including:
Cheddar
Cow, sheep and goat cheese
Cream cheese
Gouda
Mozzarella
Roquefort and other blue cheeses
Swiss
Special Considerations:
All cheeses contain some carbohydrates. The rule of thumb is to count 1 oz.
of cheese as equivalent to 1 gram of Net Carbs.
Note that cottage cheese, farmer’s cheese and other fresh cheeses are not
permitted during Induction. Nor are “diet” cheeses, processed chesses such as
cheese spreads or whey cheeses permitted. Fresh cheeses such as cottage cheese
are permitted on OWL and beyond.
Soy or rice “cheeses” are permitted but check the carbohydrate content.
Salad Vegetables
You can have 2-3 cups per day of the following raw vegetables:
Alfalfa sprouts
Arugula
Celery
Chicory
Chives
Cucumber
Daikon
Endive
Escarole
Fennel
Jicama
Lettuce
Mache
Mushrooms
Parsley
Peppers
Radicchio
Radishes
Romaine
Scallions
Sorrel
Spinach
Other Vegetables
You can have 1 cup per day of these cooked veggies if salad does not exceed 2
cups. The following vegetables are slightly higher in carbohydrate content
than the salad vegetables:
Artichoke
Artichoke hearts
Asparagus
Bamboo shoots
Bean sprouts
Beet greens
Bok choy
Broccoli
Broccoli rabe
Brussels sprouts
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Celery root
Chard
Collard greens
Dandelion greens
Eggplant
Hearts of palm
Kale
Kohlrabi
Leeks
Okra
Onion
Pumpkin
Rhubarb
Sauerkraut
Snow peas
Spaghetti squash
String or wax beans
Summer squash
Tomato
Turnips
Water chestnuts
Zucchini or summer squash
Special Considerations:
If a vegetable, such as tomato, cooks down significantly, it should be
measured raw so as not to underestimate its Net Carb count.
Salad Garnishes
Crumbled crisp bacon
Grated cheese
Minced hard-boiled egg
Sautéed mushrooms
Sour cream
Note: Use spices and herbs to taste, but make sure none contain added sugar.
Salad dressings
Use oil and vinegar (but not balsamic vinegar, which contains sugar) or lemon
juice and herbs and spices.
Avoid prepared salad dressings with added sugar.
Use only prepared dressings with no more than 2 Net Carbs per tablespoon
serving.
Acceptable Fats and Oils
Olive oil
Canola oil
Walnut oil
Soybean oil
Grapeseed oil
Sesame oil
Sunflower oil
Safflower oil
Butter (Avoid margarine, which is usually made with trans fats.)
Artificial Sweeteners
Sucralose (marketed as Splendaâ¢)
Saccharin (marketed as Sweet ‘n Lowâ¢)
Cyclamate
Acesulfame-K.
Special Considerations:
Avoid natural sweeteners ending in the suffix “-ose,” such as maltose,
fructose, etc. Sugar alcohols, such as maltitol, do not affect blood sugar and
are
acceptable.
Acceptable Beverages
Be sure to drink a minimum of eight glasses (8 oz. each) of water each day,
including:
Filtered water
Mineral water
Spring water
Tap water
Additionally, you can have the following:
Clear broth/bouillon (not all brands; read the label)
Club soda
Cream, heavy or light (limit to 2-3 Tbsp. a day; note carbohydrate content)
Decaffeinated coffee or tea
Diet soda made with sucralose (Splendaâ¢); be sure to count the carbs
Essence-flavored seltzer (must say “no calories”)
Herb tea (without barley or any fruit sugar added)
Lemon juice or lime juice (note that each contains 2.8 grams carbohydrate per
ounce); limit to 2-3 Tbsp.
Special Considerations:
Grain beverages (coffee substitutes) are not allowed.
Alcoholic beverages are not permitted during Induction.
Special Category Foods
Each day you can also eat the following:
10 to 20 olives
Half a small avocado
1 oz. of sour cream or 3 oz. of unsweetened heavy cream
2-3 Tbsp. of lemon juice or lime juice.
Note that these foods occasionally slow down weight loss in some people, and
may need to be avoided in the first two weeks. If you seem to be losing
slowly, moderate your intake of these foods.
Convenience Foods
It is important that you eat primarily unprocessed foods, but some controlled
carb food products can come in handy when you are unable to find appropriate
food, can’t take time for a meal or need a quick snack. Atkins products
suitable for the Induction phase include the following: Atkins AdvantageTM Bars,
Atkins AdvantageTM Shakes, Atkins Morning Start BarsTM, Atkins BakeryTM
Ready-To-Eat Sliced Bread, AtkinsTM Cereal, Atkins Quick Quisines Pancake and
Waffle
Mix, Atkins Quick Quisines Muffin Mixes, Atkins KitchenTM Sugar Free Syrups,
AtkinsTM Sweet Dressings.
Special Considerations:
Stick with the amounts specified by your meal plans. Some highly
metabolically resistant people find these products interfere with weight loss.
If you have
trouble losing weight, you may want to replace these products with protein
foods.
Atkins Products and Net Carbs
When you do Atkins, you count carbs not calories, and the carbs you count are
actually Net Carbs. Here’s what you need to know about the carbs in
Atkins-brand products.
Not All Carbs Behave the Same Way in Your Body
Atkins Nutritionals products are formulated to minimize the impact of
carbohydrates on your blood sugar level. While most carbs â sugar is the best
example
â are digested and turned into blood sugar, other carbs behave differently.
Some are digested but not turned into glucose and some â such as fiber â are
not digested at all and pass through your body as waste. Neither of these types
of carbs has a significant impact on blood sugar levels.
What Carbs Are in Atkins Products?
The products use sweeteners such as sucralose (Splenda®), glycerine and sugar
alcohols such as maltitol. Polydextrose is both a sweetener and a bulking
agent, or fiber. Fiber, glycerine, maltitol and polydextrose are all forms of
carbohydrate that have a minimal impact on blood sugar.
The Atkins Net Carbs Seal
The Atkins Net Carbs Seal lists the number of carbs people doing Atkins need
to count. It subtracts all carbohydrates such as fiber, glycerine and sugar
alcohols, which either are not digested or are digested but have a negligible
impact on blood sugar. The percentage and number of grams of total carbohydrates
appear on the Nutritional Facts Panel on the back of the label. The number of
grams that remain after the fiber and sugar alcohols are subtracted appears
in the circle, the Atkins Net Carbs Seal, on the front of the package.

Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble

Jen,
don’t give up! I had a 9 pond loss last week and 2 10ths of a pound this
week. WHen you have a big loss like that, it’s normal. SOme people have a high
metabolsism, others slowler. THink what you did different. In my case:
didn’t drink enough water. Too long between meals. Wasn’t writing in my
jounal, probally ate more carbs. Havn’t gone poopy in 4 days ( sorry, to much
info
I know!!!)
Denise
Friends are like angels who lift us to our feet, when our wings have trouble
remembering how to fly.
Well now I am on the verge of ending this “diet”. I am ending my second
week of induction and I have only shed one pound this week. I haven’t lost
inches either because my clothing still fit the same as they did before. I
don’t understand what I am doing wrong. I am eating under 20 carbs, eating
less fat than I did before the diet but still eating plenty, drinking water,
and taking supplements. The only thing I haven’t done is begin an exercise
regime and that is going to have to wait. I have gained so much weight that
it hurts my back. I would think though as long as I keep my regular level
of activity and not do less that I would loose weight just by eating this
way. I am not even fluctuating. I am losing my drive. Anyone have any
ideas? Maybe this isn’t for me.

Keyla, no big answers to your questions. For supplements, we read labels at
Wal-Marts. For energy, I’m waiting to see answers to your question. I’ve seen
it asked a couple times now and haven’t seen anything but what amounts to either
you have the energy spurt or you don’t. I’m still waiting for mine!
Good Luck
Jerry (160/156.5/135)
Hi everybody!
My name is Keyla, I posted once, but I didn’t get any answer so I
don’t know if it went trough, anyway..
I’m getting ready to start the induction phase, I’ve been looking
for supplements and vitamins, and I foud very good deals in this web
page,http://www.vitacost.com/products/yourhealth/locarbdieting.html
but I don’t know, maybe you know about any other that could be even
cheaper, if so, please let me know…
And the question I wanted to ask is: I’m 26 and I feel SO tired
24/7, is really pathetic, is it gonna get worse with the first days
of diet?… what can I do to raise my energy level?…please HELP!!!!
I’m excited and very nervous at the same time, hopefully I’ll be
starting this coming monday.
Take care you all,
Keyla G.

, Sorry to hear about your Bounce. Today begins day 15 for me and I have
probably lost the same 4 pounds 3 times now….or shall we say I’ve yo-yo’d
between starting weight and everywhere in between (right now 3.5 pounds below
start point). If the scales ever says: “Good Morning, you are down 5 pounds
now”, I think I will celebrate! Actually, if I were down just 9 pounds (from
start), I would be back at my weight as a smoker just 3 months ago. (It’s great
to be smoke free! But this weight loss is proving to be much harder than my
experience of giving up the smokes after 40 years.)
None-the-less, it seems that each bounce back up tops out just a little pit
lower so I still think it’s coming off. My weight loss report on Fitday looks
like a seismograph record, but as long as it tops and bottoms out lower, I guess
we still call it a loss.
Seems that there are now 3-4 of us on the list that are doing weight loss this
way, and none of us are real happy about it! I just keep re-reading my books
and reading the messages and tweaking here and there….and so far nothing has
really changed the bounce, but I see so other alternative, I like this WOE and
I’m expecting my losses to show up in about 4 weeks.
Good Luck with yours!
Jerry
