Do you recommend eating more, even though I'm full after all my meals?
If you are happy with the amount you are eating, then it's okay. Just make sure you're having enough fat (65%).

And then relax and be patient. Weight loss will happen, but it will happen slower when you have little to lose.

Exercise will help a lot. Did you take body measurements before you started Induction?

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
