Hey Sarah-I am also a scaper!

The standard induction time is two weeks. You can think of it as a detox. I actually did three weeks, but many of us choose to stay on a bit longer. Eventually, you will need to move on to OWL so that you can figure out how many carbs your body can handle and still lose weight. Plus, induction can get boring and you might want to expand your food choices. How about trying 2-3 weeks and see how you feel? If you are bored with your foods, move onto OWL-if not, give it another week.
