Need advice? Question about owl and induction.

[shabutter587]

I did induction for about a month and lost 14 pds. I didn't know about these rungs until now. I just thought I had to up the carbs by 5 each week. I had assumed it was okay to add fruit to my diet. I had strawberries this entire week when it's forbidden until rung 3, I believe thats the rung #. I also had been consuming carbquik products and sf candy which were both low in net carbs. Do I need to restart induction? Or just continue and stay on rung 1? I don't know if this would explain my stalled weight loss or not. Or the cravings I had. It was the first time on this diet I continued to "feel" hungry although I'd eaten. Thanks for your input.

Just drop the higher rung foods. Figure out how many net carbs you ate, on average, during Induction, then add 5 veggie net carbs to them and eat at that level as you start OWL Rung 1.
