The best reasons to come off of induction are to
1. add variety to your diet,
2. add extra nutrition, and
3. begin OWL.
Adding variety will help you stick to the diet long-term - no boredom from eating the same induction foods over and over again.
Adding extra nutrition is, of course, always a good idea.
The best reason to stay in induction is that you haven't reached ketosis for some reason. Likewise, the best reason to go back to induction is after a cheat knocks you OUT of ketosis.
Does extended induction (while in ketosis) speed-up weight loss? Some say yes, but I have my doubts. If you are in it for lifetime weight-loss, then I think your best odds are to start OWL.
People who hit their target weight in Induction are most likely to return to their old eating habits - and we know where THAT goes.
