You're going to have to eat more...even if it's only in the interest of your health and not hunger. Trust me, there will come a day in the journey when hunger will return. Induction is a sweet honeymoon from hunger when done properly. You really have to work to squeeze in the veggies during induction though. They're extremely important for weight loss and for nutrients. Do you like green beans, broccoli, cauliflower? Spinach leaves have way more nutrition than lettuce, they're an excellent source for nutrients. I find most veggies are good when steamed and slathered with butter. Celery sticks with cream cheese or dipped in ranch dressing and cucumber sticks or slices with ranch are great too! I added pumpkin when I knew I needed to increase my carb intake. One half cup is roughly 4 net carbs and it's easy to make it dessert-like. By learning to prepare a variety of foods now, OWL will be much easier for you down the road. There are so many choices to keep you satisfied. You just have to discover them!!
