I've lived on pretty much eggs and meat for two months each winter for the last few years. Never restricted calories. My inch loss never speeded up, and perhaps even slowed down, although I get out a lot less during the winter, and there are other things at work. I've never found any reasoning that makes me think that less than 20 grams of carbohydrate will make any difference. Won't hurt you, but I've never been told (after LOTS of asking) why it would help.

I've eaten six raw eggs a day for as long as I've been low-carbing, and I couldn't be happier with my lipids. Gold standard.

What's probably going to happen is that you'll lose fat faster if you eat more rather than less.

And if you return to induction-level carbohydrate after all this, it's only 15 grams, for Pete's sake. Fifteen grams of incuction veggies is still really low. If you gain from 15 grams, you might have to consider yourself very insulin resistant, and it might even be time for some bloodwork and a consultation.
