Just to check -

You don't think that lower carb gives faster loss do you? *it can happen

Here we go again. I'd like to see a reference on that.
And we've been over this a dozen times. You claim
Atkins said it. I've given you page after page of reference
where he has said exactly the opposite. Words to the
effect that before considering whether to remain in
induction or move on, you should ask yourself if you
have a lot to lose. He pointed out that if you're doing
fine, it was OK to stay in induction. And it would be
very strange for him to recommend those with a lot
to lose consider staying in induction if it did not make
the weight come off faster. I have never seen anything
he wrote that says that upping
your carbs will not slow your weight loss. I know it
does for me personally. And I've seen people here
over the years that couldn't lose unless they stayed
at or close to induction levels.

If you have any references for us to look at, that support
what you claim, from Atkins or anyone else, now would
be a good time.
