Does that tablespoon count against you as far as carbs go? I think mine said there were 4 carbs and 4 dietary fiber carbs.
No worries on the water, I think I've got that down easy! This diet isn't so hard for me because 1: I hardly ever craved sweets. Ever. I crave salty foods if anything, but on this diet, it's easy to not worry about pizza and burgers.
2: I love water. XD Love it! Don't like many other drinks. My other weakness is wine, but I'm not having a problem avoiding that. It's not allowed during induction, so I'll just wait and not have any. I'd rather not have the empty calories.
Also, thanks for the advice on the flax!
EDIT: Also, I'm finding that around late afternoon (3-4pm), I start getting a headache and feeling hungry and tired again. I'm drinking PLENTY of water. So should I skip some carbs in an earlier meal and have a snack at that time instead? That's really the only time I feel like I need...
something.
