I am still on induction and it's been almost a year. Even in the atkins book he says it is ok to stay on induction if you choose to do so. Some people only have 30 lbs to lose. I have lost 100 lbs and I still need to lose another 70 so for obvious reasons I needed to stay on induction. I am more curious though why only 6 pounds is gone in 4 weeks. I would think you might lose more than that if you were on pure induction. Maybe you could post what you're eating?
