leigh-leigh,

Mininum Induction length is 2 weeks, but many of us stay on it for much longer, depending on how much we have to lose, and how resistant our bodies seem to be to that loss. I have been on 20 g carbs a day for most of the six months I've been doing this. The few times I've tried to go up, I stall. I don't necessarily consider myself "on induction" though, because I do add some of the foods from OWL, just staying under 20 g/day total.

Cheese: according to my book, 3 oz a day.

Vegetables are very important. You should be getting the majority of your carbs from veggies.

Hope that helps some, I'm here almost everyday if you have more questions!
