~Questions while I journey through Induction~

[brittni]

Hi everyone!!!!

I have already posted a bit about me in the Introduction and Buddy List sections. Basically, I'm trying to do the Induction for 1 month exactly until Sept. 5th. I started August 5th.

First two days I had low-carb tortillas which apparently are a no-no. So today is my first clean clean cleaaan day!

I made this thread in case I have some questions and whatnot that others can't answer in the Buddy List or whatev.

My first Q is about ketostix. Is it too early to test? I don't really taste an overwhelming metal taste but my tooth do feel weird. I am very excited to be in ketosis and just want to know...

This time into induction I tested on day 2 and saw pink! So. I'd say test! It can be motivating. And if your test doesn't come back positive do it again tomorrow morning.. I bet you'll see it then. Good luck!

[brittni]

Thank you so much! But, what is a good time to test???

I was going to test this morning but I'm ALWAYS running late for work.

I don't want to do it after excersizing b/c of the negative read, and I'm guzzling down water all day at work (well, at least 3 bottles full), so???

[flpooh19701]

Your welcome! I've usually always tested first thing in the morning. The time I mentioned before was in the evening.. was just curious and glad I tried. I didn't expect it so was a nice surprise.

[brittni]

I guess I'll do it tommorow then. Thanks again.

Eugh, my turkey with lettuce wrap for lunch was sooo gross. I HATE turkey!! lol But my mom packed it so I just ate it real fast.

I'm very excited today to get my measurements/weight so that I can use it was a guide and check in with myself every week.

You can make induction-legal imitation bread/rolls/wraps from the revolution roll recipe which is basically eggs and cream cheese (also you can substitute mayo for the cream cheese). The recipe as well as other useful ones is here Induction Recipe Basics--More recipes added

[brittni]

Thank you so much.

I am planning to make the oopsie rolls for sandwiches, etc. Will think about making tortilla's with them also.
