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?
Thanks for replying... perhaps it is induction flu, as I knocked myself out of keto once having eaten too much protein powder following the gym (which contains carbs). I know this isnt suggested on AD but I thought I would continue to use it for muscle repair and maintenance. Ive now stopped until I meet or am much nearer my goal weight.

Sorry, I meant to say minimum as in 20g of carbs... but, yes I have read the book which has definately been helpful in understanding the basis of the diet. Thanks again!
