I usually do lose weight during induction because I retain a lot of water, and that's mostly what I lose. When I was in my early 50s and still in the throws of peri/actual menopause I didn't lose any weight after that initial loss -- not for 3 months. I was in ketosis every day and I kept strictly under 20 carbs (basically stayed in ketosis).

Now that I am through menopause, I am having more success -- maybe because my hormones are more stable. But I have had to incorporate intermittent fasting with ketosis in order to lose weight. I've also lowered my protein intake and increased my fat moderately.
