I can understand where they're coming from -- for most people, induction is hard. It was for me at least. It's so much more restrictive than OWL, and being the first stage, I wasn't used to low carbing yet & still had a lot to learn about how to create inventive & satisfying meals. I remember thinking that if I never saw another hamburger it would be too soon I also remember graduating to OWL and starting to add foods. If I recall correctly, the first non-induction food I ate was fresh mozzarella, I had it with tomatoes and olive oil and it was just about the best thing I'd ever eaten.
So I can definitely understand the temptation to start adding foods early. Although I do agree with Lisa that it's important to stick it out & give your body at least two full weeks of induction.
