Default Re: Induction? Pshhh...what a Breeze!

Thanks for the quick reply's. I'll take all your tips regarding protein/glucose, veggies and L-Glutamine (turns out I forgot I have some).

For some reason, I've gained a couple pounds. Honestly though, I think we can contribute that to my sleeping and eating habits. Long days make me either skip or add meals at weird intervals (7 meals Tuesday, 3 meals Monday). I still manage to keep my calories under 1700 though, but I use alot of salt, so theres always water retention.

I'll work on loving fats but I might take it easy with the cream cheese (heard it stalls some). I'm wondering if Im in Ketosis 'cause I'm not hungry at all, my breath has a different odor to it, and my urine has this...dense, oily type smell to it (Yes, I can smell density lol).

EDIT: It was SUPPOSEDLY 120g of Fat (Sat. Fat 50g, Poly. Fat 5g, Mono Fat 47g) on Monday, but as you can see, its not adding up so there's either hidden Trans fat, an error at fitday or I need some sleep 'cause I'm missing the obvious lol. Also had 127g Protein - 7 Carbs.

Question though: I have a few things in the fridge that claim to have "0g Sugar", but when I check the ingridents, I see sugar listed as the 6-7th ingridient which means that, like the label says, theres hardly any in there. But, its still there, and induction forbids it. However, in my mind I'm thinking "There's no way that can hurt anything" Am I wrong?

I also don't understand how milk is forbidden during induction, but cheeses are allowed, which is why I'll try to reduce that. A little light on this would be nice. Is it strictly a carb issue?
