If your weight fluctuates that much in a day, it could be your scale is off, or you're retaining water. It's highly unlikely that you would gain 3 lbs of fat in one day. You'd have to eat 10,000 extra calories!

I got a doctor's scale (the kind with metal weights that slide across a bar at eye level) because my scale was so finicky and inconsistent.

Also, how your clothes fit you and your measurements are a better indication of your progress than the scale.

I started adding extra veggies a couple of weeks ago, and strawberries this week. So far, so good! Lost three lbs this week.

For me, the biggest downside of going off induction is that it's harder to decide what to eat. 3 cups of salad/veggies with lots of protein was easy. Adding other options takes some planning and carb-counting.

Of course, it's very nice to have more variety in meals.
