Don't follow in their mistakes. This is lifelong change in the eating pattern, but that doesn't mean Induction is lifelong.
Did I really lose just 211 pounds of water? Hardly. The initial weight loss (first 3-6 days) is a lot of water as the glycogen stores are eliminated, but after that this diet loses the most fat and least lean mass of any diet.
As to the negativity, a lot of people don't understand the diet. It also challenges their low fat mentality to weightloss by relying on fat.

Read the book about what you as you progress through the later stages of the diet. Induction only has to be the first 14 days. You are intended to progress through the carb rungs and gradually add food and more carbs back into the diet. At the end in maintenance mode, you may be eating 100-150 carbs per day. If you learned these lessons, you will NOT gain the weight back.
Why do people fail? They stay at Induction level carbs the entire time, and then increase after they hit goal.

ok im really paranoid that once im at my goal weight ill put all my weight back on! ive read all i could about doing this diet and once i hit my weight goal i dont want all my time and effort to go out the window. what do i do after i reach my goal? someone told me all im going to loose is water? why everyone is so negative with this diet.

oh ok! I didn't know that thank you!!! wow I feel better now about what I ate today LOL

Then I remain convinced given no other changes, it is simply water weight gain -- probably due to the resistance training. I know it's frustrating and discouraging, but the good news it's temporary. Yes, 4 days doesn't seem temporary, but in the long run even by Induction standards, it is.
Give it time, and don't get too discouraged. If you feel you *must* do something, do a extra 15 minutes of cardio OR increase the intensity of your cardio. What are you doing for cardio workout?

yes im still drinking lots of water and it was kind of overnight ????
bowulf (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
So the only change was the exercise length and the addition of resistance training? No new foods in the diet? Still drinking your water (64+ oz)? Was it overnight or a gradual gain?

In the U.S. according to the FDA website, the sugars are already counted in the carbohydrate totals as are the fiber grams. Adding the sugar grams (subtotal) again would be double counting them in the total. In other countries, such as U.K., I believe they are extracted out of the nutritional facts label like you said.

Don't forget the sugars
CARBS - FIBER + SUGARS = NET CARBS |
