I was in induction for two weeks, during which time I went from 161 down to about 154. I'm sure some of it was water loss, though, so I probably only lost three or four pounds... but my tight clothes started fitting normally again so I was happy.

Anyways, I've been in OWL for the past three weeks and I haven't lost any additional weight. My carbs have probably been around 30-35 daily. Last time I did Atkins I lost 15 pounds in six weeks, but I stayed on induction the entire time.

My real question is this: Do some people have to stay on induction for the entire time? I thought I could do OWL, but I immediately stopped losing weight as soon as I started eating small amounts of nuts, strawberries, and low-carb ice cream. I haven't been eating any of the frankenfoods that are high in sugar alcohols... even the ice cream I buy is mostly fiber with only a tiny amount of sugar alcohol. I don't understand why OWL isn't working for me
