  • Need some help on day14!

    Hi guys,
    So I've finally inched my way to the 14th day. I haven't lost that much weight on induction, in fact, I somehow gained and lost during the week but I've noticed that my cravings are under more control. I'm not sure whether I should move on to OWL tomorrow as the extra 5g of carbs is kind of scaring me, I want to lose more, except nothing is happening!
    So far today, I've had:
    breakfast: 1 scrambled egg with mayo
    lunch: 3 drumsticks & oil and vinegar romaine salad with parmesan
    What do you guys think?
    life is what you make it.
    One should eat to live, not live to eat.
    Don't dig your grave with your own knife and fork.

    Have you tested with keto strips?

    Personally if I only lost 5 lbs I would probably stick with induction a few more days and up the exercise a little. Until I was down 10 lbs. Then kick in the other 5 gr. But lets see what the others say.

      I agree - stick with it. You should really try the strips. I notice the difference if I even chew a piece of gum! They're kind of pricey, but really help me stay on track. I think you should give it at least another week.

        Oh - and really watch it on the salads. I noticed a big difference when I cut my veggies down to half of the allowed amount.

          Losing 2 pounds of a hoped-for 25 isnt bad considering a 5-10% loss is 'usual'. I would move to the 1st rung of OWL and add 5 net carbs of induction veggies and see what happens.

          At 5'4" you are probably around a 'healthy weight' already according to most tables, so you might need to reassess your goal weight as you drop the pounds. Have you had your bodyfat measured?
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
