I remained on Induction for an extended period of time ... my theory was that if it isn't broke, don't fix it and it was working for me. I moved on to OWL after about 14 months and remained at Rung 1 for another extended period of time. It is only in the last three years that I went up all the Rungs of OWL .. I did it slowly, but I figured out all of my "trigger" foods and got to understand how my body reacted to certain foods and combination. Clearly you don't have near as much to lose as I did, but the point it, everyone approaches the phases differently from establishing time frames, but we can all have excellent results. Remember, this is a way of life.
