Georgina,

Here's something i did.....do not know if thats 'legal' or advisable. I drank a strong dose of Laxative tea....and it worked like a charm after 4 hours. I have been drinking at least 3.5 liters of water everyday. So i am not sure i could handle more water.

Regards,

The thing with laxatives is that they are pretty rough on your insides. This is why a fiber supplement is a better option.

3.5 L of water is very good. I see you are in the UK, so you can take some psyllium husks from now on, to avoid the problem in the future. I'm not sure where exactly you can find this stuff, but you can ask Elizellen (she's in the UK too) if you need help.

Hi guys!

Finished my first week of induction, nice loss seen. One more week to go!

No constipation at all, which is nice. I'm keeping my calories at around 2,000 - 2,100 per day, and at least 65% fat. So far so good.

Welcome Maddy and Amber.

Yesterday was a tough day for me I had a meeting over my lunch hour and so didn't get to get time for lunch so stopped at a convenience store for something well all I could find was some low carb jerky and raw almonds. I know I shouldn't of had the almonds being one they are not induction friendly and two my tummy doesn't not like nuts. I like them but my body doesn't.

But today I am all set for lunch bringing leftover broasted chicken and salad.

I know if I plan it works better for me. I just can't wait to have my house back in order and I can get to the grocery store and stock up on essentials and do some of Linda Sue's recipes. I love her recipes and they are so easy and good. I actually missed eating some of those. I also have to make the faux califllower again, my daughter says she likes it better than potatoes, men in my family disagree.

Have a great day everyone!!

Hey, I started re-induction this past Mon Aug 24th after carb creep added 10lbs and my pants were becoming tighter. Yikes! I've also been having frequent colds and flus which I blame on sugar and my poor diet. It's day 3 and I've lost 3 lbs so far, that's motivating me to keep going!

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

OK, sorry, I did weigh in, just forgot to post. I have to figure out my ticker too....but anyway, I am down 5 lbs. Kind of bummed I checked Sunday and was down 7 lbs and now I feel like have a stalled for some reason. The only thing I can think is that I may not be eating enough. But I am eating what I should, so why would I stall? Any suggestions PLEASE!!!!

Kathie!

Just keep going!! You may have a larger loss next week! Some people are 2 week losers

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

You will have some fluctuation based on water weight, that's perfectly normal.

Re: Re-starting induction aug 17th......anyone wants to join?

MaddyLove - i really am wishing to be 2 week loser. First week and i am down only 3 lbs

Kathi68 - Do not worry about the weight gain of 2 lbs. Its mostly water fluctuation. Just hang in there and do not step on the weighing scale till you finish 14 days. Sometimes, i feel losing 5 lbs is easy on induction and for some reason the weight doesn't want to come down after that. This is particularly true if you have been at a certain weight for a long time, your body tries to hold on to it. Keep pushing and eventually your body will let go of the weight.

Good luck to us!
