I have remained on induction because I am losing slowly. However, it is a good idea to move on to OWL to see how your body responds. You should continue losing weight but it will slow quite a bit. I even suggest that you go on OWL for a month before making a decision because it may take a month before you see additional weight loss ( which could be up to 4 lbs ).

I have read that you can stay on induction as long as you want , probably not longer than 6 months. Atkins does not require that induction ends in two weeks ( this is just the minimum ). I had a minimum of 25 lbs. to lose ( now I have just 7 lbs to lose )---starting soon after Thanksgiving. My primary goal was to get down to 135 lbs by summer. But, I have decided to get down to 125 lbs to give he some room for "holiday insanity ". The idea is to slow down as you reach your goal. I should be going to OWL soon and carefully monitor my carbbohydrates because it is obvious that that is what puts weight on me.
