Default Re: A few Newbie-Questions from a confused Continental European

If you can't go without the coffee, don't for now. It won't impact your loss if it doesn't give you cravings. I went without and now I am going 'with' and it doesn't affect my loss either way.

We can buy mozzarella sticks here, and one 1 oz stick is about the size of an adult middle finger. Does that help? Roll your slice and compare, probably getting an oz a slice, or a little less. Salad veggies, if you can picture a baseball sized bunch of leafy greens, that is roughly a cup.

In induction you personally might need to watch the cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli. Those are all veggies we are limited to 1 cup of if we only had two cups of salad veggies. One cup will be around fist sized. You will be able to add another serving back in when you hit ongoing weight loss 'rung 1' which you can do right after your two week induction period.

Menu looks good, the cough should not be Atkins related. Keep an eye on that, might need to get it checked.

What supplements are you taking? You might consider adding some supps for the jumpiness. A good multi plus a good hi potency B-complex.. B's for your nerves. You should have extra energy, but not feel 'nerved up.'

You are doing fine with your English, hope we can continue to help you!
