It is not necessary to go into or remain in ketosis in order to lose weight on a low carb diet. The amount of carbs that your body can tolerate and still lose weight is an individual factor, influenced by your metabolism, genetics and physical activity level.

Bottom line: assuming you have broken your initial carb cravings and habits, which is the primary purpose of induction, find the carb level that you can sustain and that allows you to lose weight and inches at a pace you can accept.
