STRICT INDUCTION day THREE

[knicknack]

Okay all, it's day three... how are we doing?

I'm doing pretty well, but I did have a glass of wine last night. For some reason my brain keeps thinking that wine doesn't COUNT even on strict induction and I know I'm insane. Oh well.

But, my food yesterday:

ground lamb and green beans * 2
buffalo wings and celery
one glass of red wine

exercise:
2.5 mile brisk walk
bicep curls

water:
drank plenty but I can tell i'm headed into ketosis because my lips are super chapped!

knickknack, girl! Now don't make me come over there. Did you get enough water? Enough veggies? It doesn't look like you ate very much! Don't make your big sister come over there and shove a pork rind down your tonsils!

Re: STRICT INDUCTION day THREE

i had two cups of green beans! I mix in a can of green beans with the ground lamb, so it works out well.

two cups or so of ground lamb

and 9 chicken wings with 6 pieces of celery. all in all it was something like 1500 calories, so i'm not worried! (amazing how many calories are in buffalo wings!)

Re: STRICT INDUCTION day THREE

On strict induction you're only allowed one serving of green beans and 2 cups of salad veggies! You're so BUS-TED!

Kidding! But remember, those salad veggies are most important the first 2 weeks! The other veggies are so starchy that they're limited.

Re: STRICT INDUCTION day THREE

I thought you could do one extra cup of the other veggies instead of the 2 cups of greens though?

I haven't been doing greens much at all since I started - just green veggies for the most part, but not so leafy shall we say?

Re: STRICT INDUCTION day THREE

I don't think I am in ketosis yet, but I hope to be in the next day or so. I am cheat free, and working on my water and exercise.

Knick - what is in those buffalo wings? I mean the sauce. Also, you HAVE to eat the right veggies. Don't make me send the cats after you.

Re: STRICT INDUCTION day THREE

I didn't know we had to eat a certain amount of veggies? I know we can't eat too much, is it possible to not eat enough of them as well? I ate at 4:30 this morning, but wasn't able to eat again until 2:30. I was hungery, but it wasn't that bad. I was on the road and had to stop at BK. Got a triple Whopper with cheese, plain and dry. It filled me up. (and no I didn't eat the bread)

This morning I four scrambled eggs with Bell pepper, onion, sausage and cheese. I drank one glass of Crystal lite. I'm going to try to limit them to one a day only if I have to have it. We went to the gym this morning and had a good workout.

Today has been a good day. No cravings at all. I feel good, no headaches or any other problem. I did gain one pound when I weighed, but I know that is normal. It don't bother me none, I feel a heck of a lot better than I did last week.

Yall are doing great.

Re: STRICT INDUCTION day THREE

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

An ESSENTIAL, NON-NEGOTIABLE component of this woe is that you eat 3 cups of veggies per day. 2 cups minimum must come from one list, and you can add 1 cup from another. Basically, the minimum 2 cups comes from things like leafy greens and lower-carb veggies. The additional cup can be things like zuchini, brocolli, etc.

You cannot eat less than that. You just CAN'T.

Re: STRICT INDUCTION day THREE

Induction going great here as well!

I eat food according to it's weight - not cup measurements. The carb counts are more accurate that way anyway and the truth is that I eat a lot more veggies

Remember, I work nights Wed-Fri so my hours and meal times are wonky. -

Brunch was a 2 egg omelette with 3oz steak, 1oz tomato, 1oz fresh mushroom, & 1.5oz cheese. Yum.

Linner (LOL) will be 6oz chicken breast with Franks & Blue cheese with about 5oz broccoli & an ounce of shredded cheese.

Dinfast: Tuna salad (tuna/mayo/celery/teeny bit of pickle/cheese)

Lotsa water.
1 cup of coffee with cream and splenda

Re: STRICT INDUCTION day THREE

So I'm going out of town tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn, and while I expect to have internet access I don't know for sure. SO! One of you will have to be responsible for starting the thread every day for the strict induction folks!
