Why is the induction phase on Atkins diet important?
These two weeks of induction are the most important weeks because they help cleanse your body of junk so that you can start feeling better, lighter and more energetic, to help cleanse your palate so that good, nutritious food can start tasting better to you, and to help you get rid of the cravings that imprison you. During these two weeks, you will feel terrible while these poisons are being flushed out of your body, but after two weeks or less, you will be surprised at how good you will feel and it will be a bright new start to a new you! You may even feel that you can do Induction for longer, and if you have a lot to lose, then it may be a good idea. Just make sure that you start working through the other phases after about 4 months. Remember, Induction is temporary!!
