This Fat Black Chick

I’m an Atkin’s Fan and big believer in the need for Induction so we can jump start our bodies into diet induced ketosis, the burning of our bodies stored fat for energy. Atkins Induction calls for a maximum of 20 carbs a day for 2 weeks. They have a suggested food list which you can find on their website. It consists of Lean Meats, Low Carb Veggies, and No Fruit. The good part is you ween yourself off any addictions to sugars or carbs.

This Fat Black Chick’s Induction

I’ve tweaked induction for me.  The bottom line is 20 Carbs (I do stay within the Atkins acceptable list of veggies for 2 weeks, then progress up, I like the structure), a fiber supplement, vitamin, Four 16.9 oz bottles of water, any thing diet or sugar free to drink, plus 3 meals and 3 snacks a day.
