 Re: Day 7 Induction and Losing Steam... | |
Well, first of all you'll lose slow because you don't have a lot to lose. In two weeks of Induction, one typically loses 5-10% of the weight he/she had to lose.
You only said what you're having for breakfast and lunch. Aren't you eating dinner? It seems to me like you are not eating enough. You are also eating meats very high in sodium (sausage, bacon), which can cause water retention.
Half and half is half milk. Milk is not allowed during Induction.
Did you check the ingredients in the dressing?
I see you are only eating lettuce for your veggies. Lettuce is not very nutritious. Besides, you should be getting over half of your net carbs from vegetables. Two cups of iceberg lettuce only have something like 2 net carbs.
Are you tracking your foods in FitDay? Maybe you can make the journal public and share the link to it.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
