How are all the STAC re-inductees doing today?

[Terry]

If you began on the first, today is day # 6 for you.

Have you gotten thru the induction flu? Maybe you were one of the lucky ones not to get it?

Do you have those ketosis symptoms? Lack of hunger, funny taste in your mouth? A feeling of well being? That wonderful energy burst?

Drinking your water? Even if you have lost your appetite... be sure to follow the rules and eat something to keep those blood sugars on an even keel.

Im rooting for you! You CAN do this!

I may not have begun all over again but have cut myself back to the basics.

My Atkins plans for today are:
breakfast: chicken salad
lunch: tuna salad on a low carb pita (not for induction)
dinner: steak with fauxtatoes
2 quarts of water are packed in my bag for work
exercise: have had the flu recently but feel much better today so a walk is in order this afternoon.

Hi all, I am on day 4 & doing well. Still a slight headache & tired but hanging in there. I am still in the hungry stage but I did notice the metallic taste thing this morning it is definately a lil funky. I don't remember having that the last time.

I have plenty of induction food which is good because my carb cravings have kicked in today. I crave sweet stuff (never been much of a chip eater) but I know once I make it past a certain point my cravings will be gone. Aggh can't wait for that! I will probably be checking in a lot today to help keep me on track!

Hi everyone!

Day three here. I managed to make it through day two completely clean!! yay! I drank a ton of water, made it to the gym, didn't eat one single thing that wasn't induction friendly. Today, I'm planning on more of the same.

I had cravings and headache yesterday but drinking a lot of water and going to the gym made them go away for some reason. Today I'm okay so far, although I sort of feel the headachy/stomachy weird thing going on. I've got a mental craving though, but I think I can make that go away!

The best part? I've lost 3 pounds!!!! yay!

I'm doing fine...think I'm in ketosis now, I feel slightly nauseated and not hungry, last night was too jittery to go to sleep at my normal time.

Michigan...... How has day 2 turned out for you?

Desert........... I get a slightly sweet taste in my mouth. Its not too bad but when it gets to be too much I brush my teeth!

mwalsh............ Everyone is different. If you are able, take a couple of tylenol or ibuprofen to help get you thru and drink lots and lots of water to help flush all those carbs and junk outta your system.

Sugargirl.... you will shake that sweet tooth in no time. Got that metalic taste going on... you are in ketosis girl! woo hoo!

Knick............ You are doing great!! 3#.. thats great!

Sgt A..... Those oreos will just be a memory soon!

muffles........... When I first get back into ketosis I get that jittery thing too. Drinking more water helps and a tylenol pm awhile before bed helps as well. Nauseated and lack of hunger are sure signs of ketosis! You are doing great!

Day 4 here and holding in there. Still a bit fluey, but definitely in ketosis. I can't even stand my own breath. Drinking more water today than the past 3 so that is great.

Re: How are all the STAC re-inductees doing today?

well here we are. Nice clean induction.... Only thing I am having a problemwith is getting all my water in. I think it's because i am drinking tap water. I haven't been able to get to get my jug for my dispenser filled.

Not a lot of food todaynot really hungry.

For breakfast I had a 2 egg scrambeled eggs with bacon and cheese and the roast chicken and green ebans for dinner.

Went to my moms and she filled meup with all kinds of food her husband had bought. SIngle packed steaks, chicken, pork chops and stuff, plus she bought me a ring of sugar free kielbasa,ahard thing to find around here.

Okay... that'smy update!

I have to go to a wine tasting for a friend's birthday. How bad will this hurt me during induction? Will I have to start over? Thanks!

You could always offer to be the DD and not drink at all or just explain to your friends that you are doing Atkins and you are trying to do a clean induction period so you willgo along and join in the fun but take a buttload of water with you and skip the wine
