Menu: Induction Day 8

[krispysky]

I'm in ketosis and *so* not hungry.

For breakfast
2 eggs (fried in almond oil, salt, pepper)

I've been sipping my icewater/tea all morning.
I make a cup of black tea from 1 teabag and then pour it in my gallon jug so it's watered down. Does that count as "pure water" ??

Picked at my salad for lunch...
Out of it I ate (appromixately):
1 boiled egg,
1/2 cup chicken (leftever chicken, coated with egg and flax seed meal, and sauted in almond oil)
1/3 of an avacado
few bites of bok choy, lettuce, alfalfa sprouts.
Dressing: 1T tomato blended up with some olive oil and spices.

Is that enough lunch? I was starving at 11:30, but when I got my salad out I about gagged. I managed to mostly eat the protein out of it and tried to get a bit of veggie with each bite.

This is my day 8 and I have lost 13lbs. I don't want to not eat enough and mess things up.

I haven't had dinner yet, but last night's was cauliflower crust pizza:
ingredients were:
cauliflower
2 eggs
hamburger
white onion
mozzerella
flax seed meal
tomato
almond oil
came out to 5 carbs per slice, and I could barely eat one slice.

Haven't been snacking at all.

Do your veggies add up to 3 cups? And are you sure you have no more than 1 cup of veggies from the "Other Vegetables" list? You should be eating either 3 cups of "salad veggies" or 2 cups of "salad veggies" and 1 cup of "other veggies".

Flax is limited during Induction. There is an FAQ in the "Atkins Diet Induction FAQs" thread (on top of the "Atkins Diet 14-day Induction" forum) explaining this.

Careful with the cauliflower pizza not to eat more than 3-4 oz of cheese per day.

Is the black tea decaf? And nope, since it's not pure water it does not count as pure water.

PS: 13 lbs in 8 days is awesome. Congrats!

Thanks, Georgiana!

Is it 3 cups per meal or per day? And yes, I'm trying to make sure and not use the "other" veggies as much...which stinks, because I have a ton of tomatoes in the fridge!

The tea isn't decaf. I'm weaning off of a huge soda addiction so I'm letting myself have some very sparingly. I think it's helping today, I've been having huge headaches and today is a lot better. I won't have any tomorrow though.

3 per day.

Sounds like you'll love OWL---more veggies.

[krispysky]

That's good, cuz I definitely don't want 3 cups per meal--wow!

NO - pure water is just that P U R E .... nothing added....sorry.
