Default Re: New - Day 8 of Induction

3 pounds down, but 57 to go! I am definitely in this for the long haul. I must say, this is the first time in years that I have not suffered from bloating and embarassing stomach sounds after eating. I feel GREAT! I am a tad bummed it's only 3 pounds, but I'm not complaining too loudly - could be worse!!

I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I'm going to do after day 14. The book seems to indicate you just gradually start adding more of the good carbs in, but make sure you stay in ketosis. I'm not using the strips though, so I'm going to be very cautious. Besides, the fact that I feel so much better NOT eating sugars, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes etc.. . . I might just stick with veggies and meat for good. That being said. . . ahem. . . I look forward to the day when I can "safely" have a dessert after dinner once in a while!
