Hi Erica!
Thank you so much!!!!
I stayed on induction for a number of months due to the amount of weight I have had to lose and because I certainly didn't mind what I was eating. I didn't feel limited and enjoyed induction. Mind you, having said that I'm sure that some days I probably went up to Rung 1 (more veggies) due to my intense workouts.
How is induction going for you? Many people on the board encourage others to move up to rung 1 after their 14 days on induction and I support that as well. It's really and individual thing. I know others have had great success with continued weight loss moving up after their 14 days.
Keep in touch and let me know how it's going for you and where you're deciding to go.
All the best!
