Simon,
In reference to you questions, I did have a stall after 8 months. In the 8 months I had lost 65 lbs. I was stalled for about 6 weeks. At that point I quit eating nuts and drinking coffee. I stopped all snacking. Don't get me wrong, I ate three solid meals everyday. But I stuck with inducton and I didn't take in more then 9 to 13 carbs a day. After two weeks I had lost 5 pounds.

I saw Dr. Atkins on a talk show and he said that long term induction would not cause any problems. It may be very true that some people that eat induction do have tendenacy to binge, but I worked so hard to lose 70 lbs that I didn't want to sabotage all that with more carbs. I enjoy induction.
