SUCCESSFUL ATKINS INDUCTION RESULTS
I guess your questions have already been answered I just thought I would throw a little science behind it. First off the human body is a very intelligent machine their is always a cause and affect with the body. First off carbs in the body are generally used for energy or fuel when you don’t exert the amount of (fuel/carbs) the body breaks down the cells and stores them as fat for later use in the event you cant feed it what it needs. Now the reason that during the first weeks of induction the human body losses water weight is because when the body IS taking in carbs the carbs actually fill your muscles with fluid. So that when you do work those muscles it has that fuel available for your muscles. Everybody on here knows that when you get on the Atkins or other low carb diet it’s putting your body in a state of ketosis. Where you’re training it to break down fat for fuel instead of carbs. This is a lot harder for the body to do at first but like I said its a machine and is trainable. When you work out in the beginning with the induction phase you may feel more fatigued, muscle recovery may be slower due to the lack of carbs and water stored in the muscles if weight training. I have worked out during the induction phase to jump start a healthy body and lifestyle. Things to remember… If you haven’t worked out for a long period of time then your workouts in the beginning are going to be less (lower weight, less reps, less time spent) until you get into the routine and your muscles are expecting a good workout from week to week. Just start out slow and watch the fat get cut away…
