  • Disappointing induction

    It's the "BIG DAY" today when official induction is done. My weigh-in was a disappointing 3.3 lbs less than when I started. Hardly anything to get excited about since it's only 'flux' weight. My waist is half an inch less.

    Have noticed my evening bloat going down. At first I'd add 2 inches to my waist in the eve....second week down to 1 inch, last couple of days only half an inch of daily gain; and I'm hoping this trend continues. Not sure yet what it means, but I'm sure it's improvement on some level.

    Maybe I'm having too much sodium? I don't know what a good daily sodium goal would be. Any suggestions? I'm going to cut out cheese, stay on 20 gram OWL, and see what happens in the next couple of weeks. I did have a lo-carb muffin around day 10 but another ADBB member said to remove it from my foods until OWL rung fir grains so I did. I was confused by the induction menus on the Atkins nutritional website that allow breads, pancakes and muffins. I've never been resistant to any of my other weight loss efforts but this one.

    Keto stix are still nothing like any of the colors on the bottle..maybe they're 'bad'? Don't really notice anything different except a lack of energy. Sleep patterns are the same. Mental well being is slightly improved.

    Thank you to all in this forum who addressed my wearly newbie concerns and I'll be movin on to the OWL forum now.

    Hi!

    Tried to check your fitday journal but it showed none.

    Alot of questions.........
    how much water are you drinking?
    What (According to fit day) are your ratios for fat/protein and carbs?
    Are you eating enough?
    Eating your vegies?
    Taking supplements?
    Exercising?

    Also, remember the expected weight loss in inductions is 5-10% of your total. Where do you stand with that?

      Ditto to Brens questions. Another thing is just be patient, relax, ditch the keto sticks cause they are just another stressor in your life and know that in your heart you are going to be slimmer, happier, in a while HEALTHIER . Check out the Atkins for Health Forum and see if your having an issue with yeast (Candida) and stick with the exercise. If anything helps at all, it will be that.
      Are you taking an Perscription Drugs, they can also be the culprit.
      Happy losing.
