Do people typically lose weight on the atkins induction part?

If you are talking about what to add to your basic list of protocol foods after you complete your injections + 3 days of VLCD, you add fats and more proteins, per the "Pounds and Inches" manuscript on pages 52, 92, 95, and 98 where he says "anything they please except sugar and starch" so that leaves fats and fatty proteins.

Now you add butter to your vegetables, sour cream to your fruit, and salmon, pork, and other fatty meats, etc., to reset the hypothalamus at a higher caloric tolerance level. You also weigh each morning and are supposed to stay within 2# of your last injection weight when you stopped the injections but continued with the VLCD for 3 more days.

You might lose a little more but the caution is to not aim for losing more but staying within the 2# of your LIW. The admonition is constantly, beware of sugars and starches. They are added after the 3 weeks of stabilization and resetting the hypothalamus. Atkins Induction has other foods in it that would add more sugars and starches if you started eating "all kinds of new foods" during your post treatment phase. But the fatty meats and some of the veggies listed in Atkins Induction are just fine. Both broccoli and cauliflower have the same carb levels as the protocol list of foods so they should be just fine.

On page 95, under "Beware of Over-enthusiasm", he talks of the potential problems of keeping the dietary intake too low as well as adding new sugar carbs like those in milk and other dairy products made from milk like yoghurt although he doesn't mention yoghurt specifically, just the milk increase that is potentially dangerous. You can how rejoice in adding more fats and fattier proteins. Sugar free bacon, ham, pork chops, salmon with dill or other sauces, sausages, etc., can now be added to the diet.
