I moved to OWL after 2 weeks on Induction because I wanted to lift weights and I just couldn't sustain it on <20 carbs/day. I didn't lose a lot on Induction though, I think because I stepped down my carbos for two weeks before "formally" starting Atkins. So I may have lost the water gradually before the official diet start.

Now at about 45 carbs/day. At 50 carbs I started to get cravings, which had not bothered me previously, so I pulled back to 40-45 and have been very happy with it for 2 months. I've been losing ~6lbs/month even with various TOM weirdnesses and their accompanying water fluctuations. My main focus is on making sure it NEVER comes back, so I don't mind if it goes off slowly.
