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!"
