Thank you!!! Wish me luck on my extended induction

looks good, but I am wondering why your counting calories on atkins induction, on induction you only count carbs consumed and keep carbs under 20 grams per day, eat as much protien and fat as you desire, ( but after 3 or 4 days your appetite drops considerably ), I have lost over 62 pounds in 3 months doing induction atkins, and have not counted a single calorie yet, hope this helps

I have been counting because I have a tendency to eat quite a bit so I try to stay between 1500 and 1800. Your portions may be naturally controlled. The website says:

How many calories can I consume in Induction?

You count grams of Net Carbs, not calories, in all phases of Atkins. But that's not to say that calories don't count. Gaining weight results from taking in more calories than you expend for activity, thermogenesis (the body's own heat production) and other metabolic functions.

If you don't eat sufficient fat (or protein) in a misguided effort to cut calories, you'll feel tired—and ravenous, which will sooner or later undermine your weight loss efforts. On the other hand, consuming too many calories clearly hampers weight loss.

Tip: Consider the first two weeks as a period of total commitment, during which you give yourself over completely to this new way of eating. Seek support wherever you can, including the Atkins Community forums.

A daily minimum for women losing weight on Atkins typically ranges from 1,500 to 1,800 calories; for men, the minimum range is 1,800 to 2,000 calories. Research has shown that on a low-carb program, more calories are burned than on a low-fat diet, and that people eating the Atkins way tend to naturally consume fewer calories than those on a low-fat program. But understand that this does not give you a license to gorge.

There's no need to count calories unless you don't start (or stop) losing weight, in which case you're probably consuming too many; or if you feel tired all the time, in which case, you're not consuming enough.
