First you should be aware that eating that few calories, you are most likely cannibalizing your muscle stores to survive.

Second, what you are doing is NOT Induction, it's starvation. Some of the weight you have lost this way will most likely return once you start eating normally again. My recommendation to you is to get the book, DANDR, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, and read it RIGHT away. Start introducing real foods back into your system and try doing something healthy for yourself. You can get the basics from the www.atkins.com website: Atkins Nutritionals: How to Do Atkins: Phase I: Induction: Acceptable Foods http://atkins.com/Archive/2001/12/15-464579.html Eat your meat, eggs, and veggies and get your body back to running in a more healthy manner so that you aren't losing your muscle mass. Be sure to eat enough fat and drink plenty of water. I sincerely hope you don't intend to try to survive on 300 calories a day for much longer, especially at your age and height. Please be VERY careful. What does your doctor think of this regime? Please keep us posted as we are VERY concerned about your well being.
