Sour Cream???

[4everhopeful]

Hello,

I was wondering if sour cream is allowed on induction. I have the book but I let my mother in-law borrow it because she wanted to start the diet. Here is my problem. I lost 17lbs. in the first two weeks of induction. This last week, (week 3) I have not lost any weight nor inches. The only thing that I have changed is that I have started eating about 6 tablespoons of sour cream a day. I know it says 1 gram of carbs but I add all of my carbs and never go over 20 grams. Also, I have started drinking about two glasses of Crystal light a day. Could this be holding me back? Please help! Also, keep in mind that crystal light had never held my weight loss back before. Could my body just be catching up to the weight loss?

Thanks!

Re: Sour Cream???

And just a reminder from Dr. A's book about Induction...most of you carbs during Induction need to come from the veggies, not other foods like the sour cream.

And like Emma said, Induction stalls are normal and could be a sign that you're ready to move up the OWL ladder...making sure it's more veggie carbs

Sour cream is allowed during Induction and it is on the Special Category Food list because for some people these "special foods" can cause weight loss problems. By the way, sour cream is limited to 1 ounce, which is about 2 tablespoons.
