After P4, will Atkins Induction make you lose?

LilacBruze · 05-25-2011, 03:04 PM

I am wondering if adopting Induction level carb counts after stabilizing on P4 will cause weight loss. I know I am thinking way ahead of the game, since I won't be done with P4 until sometime in August, but I was just wondering if I should start another round then or try Induction first and another round in the future.

Has anyone tried both and had better results with one over the other?

afuentes has done exactly that!! She used the hcg to jump start her weight loss. She lost 20 pounds on the hcg and then went on to Atkins in P4 and lost some more. She in fact has entered a fitness competition and won 3rd place. I don't know of anyone else though.

I guess I am just wondering "what happens" after P4. Although I'm doing well on hcg, I'm not exactly in a hurry to jump back on another round, ya know? But I don't want to stop losing either. I can do Induction with my eyes closed and sure wouldn't mind CHEESE and BACON and AVOCADO!!

I am wondering if the whole resetting metabolism thing will help make Atkins effective again. You know how you do it so many times that it stops working? Is there a chance it might work again after P4?

I don't know. I DO know however, that Brown Bunny was very disciplined and ate very clean. Those bikini/fitness competitions are very intimidating LOL. I also know that another forum I am on doesn't suggest using anything other than hcg to lose. But you know how that goes...they want to sell you their products LOL. But there is truth in that because with the hcg you are supposedly losing the abnormal fat and with other diets you are not guaranteed to lose that abnormal fat. So you go with what you feel comfortable doing.
