I don't think telling people they HAVE to stay on induction is good advice. boredom can be the kiss of death and movinng on to OWL is much preferable to quiting.

Yes you can stay up to induction for 6 months or more, it's your choice based on if you are losing and if you would like to incorperate new foods. Someoen who is doing 20g carbs a day but added in food snot on the acceptable list is still on OWL, just at 20g. That is very different then telling someone they "HAVE" to stay on induction or they are doing it wrong.
