Moving on To Extended Induction.

[Tinytulip]

I have decided to move over to the Extended Induction I am not quite ready to go onto OWL. I am happy with the results so far. I am down 14 lbs since I started on July 28. So I am very happy with that. I will keep on reading on this thread and am looking foreward to all the success that so many of us gain on the 14 day induction. Have a great weekend everyone. I will be weighing myself tomorrow since I have not in 5 days. So I am hoping to have lost some more weight.

Sounds right to me. Just watch how much cheese that you are eating I think that we are suppose to stay with 1-2 oz of cheese that is what I did during induction. I ate 2 eggs for breakfast with 3 strips bacon. Lunch I ate 1-2 hamburger patties and a side salad of romaine lettuce with cucumber and peppers in it. No carb salad dressing usually ceaser salad. Dinner I ate usually fish or chicken no skin on the chicken with steamed cauliflower or brocolli. So yours sounds right. Keep it up 4 lbs is a great start.

Hi Desi

If you don't have a copy of DANDR with the list of allowed foods for induction you might want to copy the info from a couple of our Atkins FAQs and print it out so you have something to refer to when out and about.

thanks for the response...i pretty much get what i can eat n what not.my question is......whats up with calories?how many are we alowed.i know we shouldnt count them,but there has to be a limit.i dont wanna gain from eating to many calories.n im very iffy with the veggies to,so i doubt that my carbs are at 20 grams.i mostly really only eat meat.and its so hard.i must say though,is it normal that i have not had atkins flu,or is that not a must for everybody?????:confu sed:

[gdezi]

and thanks again too both of u.and one more question...how much should i excersice???

[Tinytulip]

Des, I never had induction flu so I don't think that everyone gets it. I got really moody for 2 days my husband said that I was harsh. When it comes to calories I never went over 1800 calories and I roughly got 15-18 grams of carbs. I try to excercise at least 30 min cardio every day. I also do lots of abs and squats since it is my mid section and lower body that I want to tone. Oh yeah I also do push ups. I joined the chalenges and it holds me accountable. I just love this website. . Have a great day.

ya,i hear ya.im startin the execise too.not as much as u yet,but ill get there.and do u think its bad to go 2 grams over 20?

You should only consume 3-4 ounces of cheese daily per DANDR 2002 edition. This includes the following types --
Cheddar, Cream Cheese, Gouda, Mozzarella, Roquefort, Blue Cheese, and Swiss. I'd be warry of cheap non-deli cheeses because they can contain sugar. For example Walmart's Great Value Fancy Shredded Mild Chedar CHeese contains Potato Starch! Also make sure your bacon is not 'cured with sugar'.

I stopped adding shredded cheese and cheese singles to my meals because they are too processed. I not pretty much stick with Mozzarella String Cheese because it is easy to keep track of my daily limit at only one ounce a stick.
