Day 5 and I feel fine

[Eno]

I'm on day 5 and I feel great. With all the warnings on "flu", leg cramps, tiredness, etc. I was wondering if anyone gets to go through Induction with no problems; or am I still too early in the stage. So far I'm following the book (and the advice on this board) to the letter for food, and I'm walking 2 to 3 miles a day.
I also finally found some Ketostix and I'm in small ketosis. Woo-hoo. I know it's not necessary to test oneself, but I needed some feedback to see if the ball was rolling.
Thanks for listening.

Re: Day 5 and I feel fine

I had no probs in induction, but mainly because ive never drank coffee or had a sweet tooth, i was one of the annoying ones that still had chocolate easter eggs years after i got it, its just not my thing! so dont worry about not having anything, your one of the lucky ones!!

You have completely cut all caffeine and sugars havent you? no hidden sugars in anything?

small ketosis is the best you can be! traces means youve been drinking enough water and your body isnt dehydrated so congrats on that one!!

Great stuff on doing your exercise!!

Oops, I forgot about the caffeine. But I have gone from 3 cups per day of coffee with half-and-half to 1 cup per day with 1T heavy cream. If I find that I'm not losing, then I'll quit the coffee altogether. (I gave up my beer completely, I can't drop all my vices all at once, can I? )

The only hidden sugar that I'm consuming is in the Helmann's whole mayonnaise (about 3T per day in my tuna).

Re: Day 5 and I feel fine

Your still getting your caffeine fix then which would explain why no headaches! you could really do with doin a 14 day fully clean induction!

beer oh beer, i miss that, but wine and vodka is a not too bad substitute for right now lol.

that mayo is fine
