The purpose of the first phase of the program, known as the
Induction Phase, is to jumpstart your weight loss. An all-too-common
misconception is that this first phase of Atkins is the whole program. In
reality, it's the key to kickstarting your fat burning metabolism. As you move
through the diet, you'll find the maximum grams of net carbs you can consume
while continuing to lose weight, keep your appetite under control, and stay
alert and energized. This is called your personal carb balance.
How long
A minimum of two weeks, but you may safely follow it for
much longer if you have a lot of excess weight to lose or prefer to lose most
of your excess pounds relatively quickly. You'll stay in this phase until
you're 15 pounds from goal weight.
Purpose
Shift your body from burning primarily carbs to burning
primarily fat, kick-starting weight loss.
Goal
Significantly drop your daily Net Carb intake to an average
of 20 grams (no less than 18 and no more than 22) of Net Carbs, the level at
which almost anyone begins to burn primarily fat.
