Soy Protein and Flaxseed

[saraa281]

Hello,

Want to start making new recipes. Is it safe to eat these ingredients while in extended induction? I haven't up until now, so I wanted to ask before I started. Thanks!!!

Not soy protein, that's not until a certain level of OWL.

Flax can be used in small amounts. I take 3 tablespoons a day but there are those who will say stick to 1.

if the soy is pure protein then it is okay. if it is not protein isolate then it has carbs and will be rung 6 legumes of OWL.

if you are using the flax for constipation reasons as a fiber then you can have it but if you didn't get that technically you should wait for rung 3 of OWL.

sounds like you might be ready to go to OWL and get some more food choices.

Happy low carbing.

I think that I might be ready for OWL, I am so nervous!!! Hear good and bad about it. I don't know that I trust myself with more options right now, I just got back from a 2 wk vacation in Hawaii and for 3 days I ate whatever so I think I may be safe to stay on induction for a little while longer- but give me advice if you have any please!!!!

The first rung of OWL is just to add 5 net carbs of the veggies you are already eating, so is not too big a step to take.
Why not move on to rung one and stay there for a while, adding a few rungs of 5 net carbs of them till you feel ready to move to dairy?

Alot of ppl are afraid to move to OWL but really shouldnt be! I actually broke a stall moving to OWL. And it's wonderful to have new food choices.
