I've been doing the induction now for about 2 months, and trying to maintain 20-25 carbs a day. I've included 1 hr of walking with free weights every day in my routine. I plan to stay at this speed/carb level until NY day. Then I plan to savor the restaurants of NYC, but not over indulge. Then I'm going to also slowly add carbs, slowly, as to not disturb the weight loss. My goal has been to reach a 40 lb lost by 3/304. But I don't want to freak out the metabolism with rapid carb rises.
I read where people have stayed in induction longer than 5 mo.
So I guess, whatever your body can do, and it's not being depleted of anything required, go for it.
I have another 35 lbs to lose.
