Actually, I stayed on induction until I got down to around 140 pounds, and then I moved on and started following it by the 2002 book. I've gone up the rungs as Atkins laid out. I was on the berry rung of the OWL phase a week ago, but my weight started bouncing up and down so I'm doing a week of strict induction. After this I'll go back up the carb ladder, first adding extra veggies, then dairy, nuts, berries, etc.
If I had to do it all over again (knock on wood!) I'd do it the same way... Stay on induction for a month or two and then go to OWL. Adding the carbs back in little by little the way the carb ladder lays it out makes it so enjoyable! I like my meat and eggs and salads on induction, but I get even happier with everything I add back in. I thought it couldn't get any better, but then I added the berries back in. I was in heaven!
