If you have lost 4 pounds or fewer, then you may want to consider staying in Induction longer.
 If you are still having significant struggles with carbohydrate cravings, then you may want to continue Induction until those cravings are eliminated.
 If you have high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea or a BMI of over 30, then you should consider staying on Induction for more rapid weight loss. Always follow the guidance of your doctor.
 This will provide better nutrition and more variety. However, you should continue to eat less than 20 grams of carbohydrates each day.

 Perform cardiovascular exercise and strength training as soon as you leave Induction so that you can lose weight more quickly.
Evaluate how much weight you have lost.
Consider your cravings.
Be honest about your health issues.
Add 1 ounce of nuts or seeds if you decide to stay in Induction.
Progress to the OWL phase when you’re ready.
Start exercising.
