Induction Buddies 11/30-12/13

[focus83]

Im on my second day again cant seem to get passed 3 days on induction. I ordered a copy of the book online and when it arrived they had sent me the cook book. I emailed them and they said i could keep the cook book and that they would resend the original book to me so i get 2 for the price of 1 which is great but cant wait to get my hands on it hoping it will help me along the way through my induction .

Divine~ Recommended allowance is 8 eight-oz glasses a day (64 ozs) There are 16 ozs in a pint. (33 ozs in a liter).

focus83~ Way to go 2 for 1! Hope the right book arrives soon. I've heard that the 3rd day can be the worst...

Am prepping for Day 3. Prepared to take a "rest day" if necessary. Feeling fine so far: No cravings, decent energy, etc. Am also planning to do a bit of yoga tomorrow as well.

Good evening all! I hope everyone had a wonderful, clean low carb day! I feel thinner today, but I know that's just a mind trap. I'm going to try really hard to wait to weigh for a week.

Tuesday: Welcome to the thread, and I hope you passed on the Atkins bars today. I'm not planning on posting a new thread because it will clog up the board, but if you want to start a "roll call" of sorts, that would be cool!

Focused: I had induction flu last night before bed. A tylenol pm knocked it out pretty well. I'm definitely back in ketosis--I forgot what that taste felt like!

Devine: I'm drinking a lot of water today too. Also, I'd try really hard to eat breakfast. We're supposed to spread out our carbs over the day and breakfast is a great way to start.

Focus: I'm so glad you're getting the right book...it's the best! And make sure you post any yummy recipes you find.

Phil~ I know what you mean about "the taste". I was eating dinner last night and realized that spinach (albeit sauteed spinach) tasted sweet to me. Spinach! Imagine.

Just woke up and am feeling kinda bleh. I've been wanting to binge on cheese lately. It's tough to keep to 4 oz. Not good. Other than that, I'm doing OK. Am just to punch through this feeling...

Hi guys, on day 3 today, feel okish, hoping to get past the first week. Havent done that yet this time around really wish i had my book lol because then could have my head down in that. But anyway, how is everyone else?

how do you know when you are getting the induction flu? alot of ppl around me are ill so i could be either coming down with something or have been hit with the induction flu lol

83~ Heya, I definitely have the "induction flu". I'll get these random hot flashes and bouts of nausea, but they come and go quickly. Maybe that's how you can tell the difference? Not sure. That's just me...

Am cooking a chicken right now. My mom's a vegan/vegetarian so we didn't really have much meat in the house growing up, so I have to learn how to cook it. I actually called my friend for directions on how to cook chicken. And then I ended up starting a small fire b.c my oven is the size of a shoebox, literally. Hopefully it will turn out OK, though, b.c the not burnt part of the chicken smells really good.

Hey Focused hope your chicken taste good. How did you cook it? just roasted it in the oven? I always make chicken wings because i dont really like the taste of chicken breast its yummy fresh out the oven.

If you are stuck for recipe ideas the forum has loads of really interesting and yummy sounding dishes

Also hope you feel better and get over the induction flu.

Already had 2 pints of water though, I'd forgotton how much water your body needs with this WoE.

Sorry to bust in on your post.. but the book says you shouldnt go more than 6 waking hours without eating. So i would assume that is after breakfast not to go more than 6 hours since you most likely ate dinner at between 6-8 pm you would need something to feed the body so it does not feed on itself for energy. I would try to eat something in the morning even if it is something small.

Just my Opinion.

Hi everyone! I'm one over on my carb count today. That's what I get for eating without tallying things up in fitday until I was done with dinner.

Focused-its amazing the things that taste so sweet when you eliminate added sugars. Tomatoes, while much more obvious, always amaze me.

83--Its day 3, I hope you make it! I remember you said you haven't been able to make it past day 3 yet.

Phillia~ Argh! That's so frustrating to be over. I'm the same way and don't really know how to plan out what to eat without making myself crazy. I keep track in a paper journal and try to tally them up as I go, but it's still a challenge...

83~ Hoping you're over the three day hump! I did end up just roasting the chicken (w. some Atkins-approved butter...) It was delicious and am planning on using the leftovers to make soup.

Today is officially day #4. Woot!
Am still having "hot flashes" and bouts of nausea, but they come and go quickly.
The chicken last night was delicious, although I felt a bit piggish eating almost the entire thing by myself.
Am about to meet a friend at McD's for breakfast, but am planning on ordering the big breakfast platter w.o the hashbrown or bread.

Stay strong, everyone!
