Live and learn, huh? Most of that six pounds you took off initially was water, BTW. That's a good thing, I think; I know personally before starting this WOL I retained too much water anyway. Most of your fat loss will come later.

As Pam (and others) said, one week into induction is way too early to be experimenting with carbs. And even when you do start adding them back in slowly and/or allowing yourself an occasional (relatively) high-carb meal, don't do it as a celebration. If you set up high-carb foods as a reward, that automatically makes low-carb foods a deprivation. It's a psychological thing.

Here's another little piece of advice: don't eat any food that you are craving. If you are DYING for a chocolate chip cookie, are you really going to stop at one? That's one of my personal rules (although my rules are really not appropriate for induction); you can check the others out in my journal if you like. They help me.
