Induction or Move On to OWL?
Tomorrow will be the last day of my induction. I started my first induction about 4 weeks ago, but then restarted a completely "clean induction" two weeks ago.
During my first round with induction, I lost 6 pounds but then could not budge. However, I weighed myself today (okay, okay 1 day early, I admit) and I am now down another 3 lbs so it looks like I have finally gotten my metabolism moving.
My question, should I stay on Induction even after tomorrow or should I move on to OWL? My loss has been such a struggle for me thus far that I don't want to do anything that might jeopardize my success or get me moving back in the wrong direction.
I have read that for those of us with alot of weight to lose, it is okay to stay on induction for up to 6 months. On the other hand, I have read that it is important to leave induction and begin OWL by properly climbing the "carb ladder".
Any advice on which way I should go from someone who's been in a similar situation?
