Starting the diet.

Do you need to do the induction part or can you still lose weight by cutting
down on carbs?

Which diet are you starting? Whatever one it is read the book first and
make sure you understand it before starting. Then if you have questions I am
sure someone will have the answer. hope that helps a little

Low carb does not automatically equal the Atkins diet. Cutting carbs from
your diet is a good start.

I started cutting carbs while I was reading the lowcarb diet books
and by the time I had chosen to do Atkins and finish induction I
had lost 15 pounds.

I believe you can but only by significantly reducing
carbs; the more carbs you cut, the better your results
will be. I believe the accepted upper limit is between 70
and 100 grams of carbs per day; you probably should
actually keep it below those numbers. "mid-carb" diets
do not work.

You can do it either way, but *I* cannot do it without going through
Induction. YMMV

I started low carb by keeping under 50 carbs. You can skip "induction," but
your weight loss may be less than it might have been.

It took a month or two for me to lose interest in most carbs.

Doing you own program may carry a higher risk of failure than following the
book.

There is no "the book".

It depends. Some people like the freedom of picking and choosing what works
for them. Some people haven't had a book plan written for just their
specific needs/wants yet. Books can be informative, but a person knows
their own bodies and personal preferences best.

The post you just read, unless otherwise noted, is strictly my opinion
and experience. Please interpret accordingly.

Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy are out, as well. Just
wanted to cover all the bases. *grin*
