Hi Chris,
You can continue induction for as long as you want or add carbs. The key is staying in ketosis and figuring out how many carbs you can eat to still be in ketosis. Adding carbs is as simple as adding more veggies like carrots and tomatoes or more cheese and gradually adding more healthy carbs. The atkin's book details the various steps so if you read the chapters beyond induction, again, you'll find a lot of good information.Grovemonkey

The first week on OWL, you just add 5 grams of veggie carbs. Not carrots. They come much later.

Re: tonigth wanna read part 4.....
Pop on over to the OWL forum and read some of the sticky threads (at the top of the forum) to get a better handle on starting OWL.

Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
