It's ok to drink decaffeinated tea with splenda. However you are only allowed 3 splenda servings per day...
Veggies are supposed to be a big part of the diet. Try to find something on the list that you can munch on. I like lettuce with dressing, cole slaw with mayo, celery with cream cheese, pumpkin with butter and cream cheese, sliced cucumbers and sliced tomatoes.
Be careful about tomatoes, they have more carbs than lettuce etc...
Green beans (string beans) are allowed.
You are supposed to lose between 5-10% of the total that you want to lose during induction... (I lost 7% in the 14 day period)
Hot dogs and pepperoni are allowed on induction... however don't eat too much processed meats as they are high in sodium and can cause water retention.
I would stay away from the ketchup. You can use mayo or mustard...
Enter all of your foods into fitday.com each day so that you know how much fat/calories/carbs/fiber etc... you are eating...
Keep up the great work, you are definitely on the right track
