Default Skip Induction??

Hi there, the other day when I was thinking about trying low carb again I started wondering if I would last longer than a few days on this diet if I skipped induction. Before everyone starts jumping on me about Ketone production let me explain. Eventually as the diet continues you add back more carbs again, right? At that point you may be up to 40-50 or more grams a day and still losing weight. Even with the higher carb totals you must still be producing ketones.So since you can still lose weight eating more carbs why not just start out with 50 carbs a day and see what happens? Please note, I am aware that you are supposed to start with less than 20 grams a day and add more until you stop losing weight. But realistically eating 50 or 60 grams of carbs daily is only 200 or 240 calories instead of 80. Not much if you eat 2000 plus calories a day. Please let me know what you think.
