You're wise not to jump from extended induction to maintenance. If you go up the OWL rungs you learn how different foods affect you and you train yourself to eat correctly, which includes coping with the odd "yen" ("craving" seems to me to be too strong a word for the advanced levels of Atkins... at least it was/is for me).
As you increase the carbs to pre-maintenance level, you probably go in and out of ketosis... so you need to be able to cope with changes in your appetite. Cravings cease to be too much of a problem because, by this time, you are conditioned to eating the Atkins way.

Everyone's a little different but I really don't think it's a great problem if the plan has been followed to a 'T'.
