Default Re: Extended Induction Menu

It is always hard to say if something is really wrong with what you are eating or if you are just in one of those post induction stalls (sometimes called PISS) which can go on for a bit. I would continue to drink plenty of water, do exercise and eat as clean as possible. Because you really do not have that much to lose (on the scale of things) you may also benefit from moving up OWL and increasing your veggies. With some people that is really the key to getting it going again.

That being said there are things you could do to improve your menu. What you are eating may work for some but there may be things in there that are not agreeing with you. I am seriously nit picking with these comments and I don't think you really have to go through things with a razer blade but I just wanted you to have some ideas at things to look at to change.

Quote:
Breakfast
Decaf coffee, 1 shot heavy cream, 5 drops Stevia
Flax bread: (1 tbsp cocoa, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp flax meal, 5 drops stevia, 1 tbsp butter)
1 oz cream cheese
Here I worry about a few things. Neither cocoa nor flax are induction allowed items. Flax is allowed for constipation. Cocoa may be allowed as flavour but we usually say used as a spice using small amounts like a tea spoon but not a table spoon.
Lots of sweetener it looks like to me. I am not familiar with stevia so I am not sure how many servings 10 drops are.

Lunch
Turkey burger cooked on George Foreman
Slice of cheese
1 cucumber
Looks like this meal could use some fat. You get a bit from the cheese but what about non daily fat - oil or butter.

Quote:
Dinner
3 boneless pork ribs cooked in olive oil
1-2 cups green beans cooked in butter
Looks good but beans belong to the second category and strictly speaking you should only have one cup

Overall I think you menu is pretty good. Breakfast is maybe too sweet but the rest was fine.

Do you put this through fitday to find out what your fat, carb and protein percentages are? sometimes that helps. My suggestion would be to try OWL
