Oh oh, I messed up :(

After 1 week of being into induction ( 6 pounds lost ) I caved in to eating a little bit of rice and 2 glasses of orance juice...

Had some this morning too.

Is it too late to save my induction?

[carbless_in_seattle]

just go right back on plan, depending on how much you have to lose, you might want to consider doing a 3 week induction or longer...

If it were me, I'd start over.

Me too.

No problem. Just go on like you have been doing before the rice and orange juice .

I'd agree with the previous posters. I'd also suggest chopping off one finger as punishment, but that might come off a bit barbaric...

Eric. LOL !!!
I suggest you refocus. Why did you eat these things? Try to go through what went wrong so you can avoid making the same blunder in a few days. Those two blunders likely (because they are so high glycemic) mean you are out of ketosis and now you have to work yourself back there. Better if you can avoid it in the first place. But none of us are perfect - however, if we can learn from our mistakes we will get a little better (that is the theory anyhow )

Just keep going. You've already realized you had something off plan, dont dwell on it and continue to eat on plan foods. You've had a great loss so far

Do not punish yourself!! your on induction--so easy to pick up the pieces and start again! your body may need up to 3 days to use up what you consumed--then your back on track!

Remember "one" of the biggest goals for the 2 week induction is to switch your metabolism to fat burning! punishing yourself just makes it worse.

I noticed in your other thread you asked if it was okay to eat beans like kidney beans during Induction. In light of that and in light of the rice and orange juice mistake, I think you really need to take the advice you were given in your other thread: Read the book. Especially, read the chapters on how to do Induction and the Induction Acceptable Foods List and the Induction Rules.

You won't succeed if you keep eating the wrong foods because you don't know what they are or how to do the Induction phase properly. Sorry if that sounds harsh or mean, but it's the truth. None of us wants to see you fail at your Atkins, but it's up to YOU to help yourself by reading about the Diet and how to do it properly. We can't do it for you.
