It's not a fad miracle diet where the weight falls off until it's gone. You lost steadily, then gave up at the first sign of a slow down. Patience is a virtue, and you must give the diet time. Switching from program to program when you hit a plateau will not work no matter what eating style you choose. Restart Induction and follow the rules exactly. Then start to slowly add more carbs, 5g per week max. Give low carbing a chance to work before you give up on it. Drink lots of water daily, take supplements, and stick with it. I stalled for 2 weeks, then I lost 2lbs in 3 days. Your body will loose weight in spurts, and weight naturally fluctuates a couple of pounds either way. Gaining 2lbs could have just been water retention. Remember you didn't gain weight overnight, nor will you loose it that way. I know it's difficult when you're not seeing the scale budge, but don't give up so easily. In addition to weighing yourself, try measuring. People often loose inches, when the scale says nothing has changed. Good luck with whatever you decide.
God Bless,
