finished 2wks induction

[njcarita]

hi i just finished my two wks of induction and lost 9 lbs!!!and 2 1/2 inches

I was thinking of staying on induction thru sept. I read somewhere if you are staying on induction over 2 wks you can add macadamia nuts to your diet- but i can't find the where i read this is this correct????

Wow, that's great! Congrats!

You can stay on Induction as long as you like. As far as mac nuts, I don't know the official answer - but they happen to be my best secret weapon. They are very high in fat, and fiber, low in carbs otherwise, in other words, a perfect Atkin's food! Just be careful about portion size. I often have 1 oz (about 1/4 cup) with a big glass of water for breakfast. It's easy to take to work, and to have ready for snacks - just measure your portions out ahead of time. They are very very satisfying.

Keep it up, you're doing great!

You did great! Was induction hard for you? What foods did you eat? I had completed 8 days of induction and lost 5 pound total until this morning a 1/2 pound crept back on. I had a great day yesterday too. I don't get it. I was discouraged this morning and went off induction but to hear your success is encouraging. I will start induction again tomorrow. Please share any tips that led to your success. Thanks.

don't be discouraged- 5lbs is great

after going thru the carb withdrawl days 2-4 I found it easy to stay on induction.

some of the foods I ate alot of???
LOTS of deviled eggs,

the mock danishes ( i've used lemon and also almond extracts) really satisfied my sweet tooth.

cheese and pepperoni

ceaser salad

sugar free jello

lots of a bacon

mashed cauliflower with butter and cream ( great mashed potato sub)

<b>njcarita</b> That is a great start. I love macadamia nuts and take a pre-measured amount to work with me. They really take care of the afternoon munchie urge.
<b>Married2grumpy</b> Don't get discouraged. You are headed in the right direction.

I love deviled eggs. I can't believe I never thought of that. I also just printed out the low carb cheesecake recipe off the new Eating Healthy section. It sounds delicious. I didn't care for the mock danish so this sounds like a great replacement for that.

Thanks!

That is awesome. I'm on my 11th day of induction(for the 100th time). But I pretty much stay on induction the whole time. I can never get to week 4 without having a cheat day, so my goal is to do the 100 day challenge. We'll see............
