Congratulations on those 20 pounds lost!
However, you need to increase your calories. You should be eating 10-12 calories for every pound you currently weigh - you are not getting enough and are taking a chance of putting your body in starvation mode. On page 160 of the latest DANDR paperback, he states that "You can do induction safely for six months or more". Hope that answers your questions.
