I just wondered about macro breakdown. I know that during induction you dont count calories or look at macros, just keep carbs to a minimium during this phase.
What about OWL - what is the breakdown there? And for Maintenance?
How long have you been on Induction? Typically the "Induction flu" is during the first week and resolves once you are fully in ketosis.

You don't keep "carbs to a minimum" during Induction---you keep them 20 net carbs or slightly lower. During OWL you increase your carbs, stepwise, until you find your Critical Carbohydrate Losing Level. Have you read the book?
