Answer by Finding Fitness Well this is different for everyone, but I can explain the process and give you a general idea.
When you reduce your carbs significantly, your body’s glycogen stores are exhausted and you fat is broken down into ketones for energy.
The US RDA for carbs is 130 grams and defined as the amount of carbs needed to keep the body out of ketosis ( though 130 grams would be considered high in any low carb diet).
The induction phase of 20 grams is set because with only 20 grams of carbs consumed, EVERYONE would go into ketosis. In the Atkins diet, the carbs are slowly added until you find that the body is no longer in ketosis and then you reduce to about 10 grams below that.
How do you know if you are in ketosis? Buy Ketostrips. These are urine test strips you can buy at most chain Pharmacies or Wal Mart. When you pass the strip under urine, they will indicate how many ketones your body is producing. The darker the strip, the more ketones you are producing. As long as the strips turn a little purple, you are golden. This makes the atkins pointless, as this is so much easier then counting carbs (though you still want to track them). It takes the guess work out.
Though the Atkins calls for a maximum of 20 grams, you could start at 40 for only one week then slowly increase by 5 grams every two days.
