Minor question during this 14 day induction.

[Bringy98]

Okay, I need to take my dietry fiber supplement but I am worried this is affecting me. But I need to have a bowel movement in my body and it works. But I haven't used the supplement since atkins because heres why per serving. This is for two teaspoon for 5g of dietry fiber in your glass.

15g carbs
10g suger
5g dietry fiber

I do not like salad at all. and I need the fiber to bowl movement or I will not have it at all. What advice can anyone give me? Is this taking this good? I'm on my 9th day induction.

Also, I'm starting to have dreams daily that I AM CHEATING and eating pizza, breads, etc. But when I wake up, I'm not. It scares me sometimes. I been very strict and eating right without cheating hehe.

You need to find a sugar free version. Half your daily allowed carbs are in this one glass of supplement! Try flax, ground, psyllium husks, or find a sugar free version of whatever you are using.

You can eat several of the salad veggies cooked, radishes are incredible sauted, you can cook bok choy, daikon, mushrooms..

Lots of us have the cheating dreams.

Yes you have to eat your veggies. Does not have to be salad - raw, cooked, fried whatever. There are about 40 allowed veggies on the list. Start finding some you like.

Any interest in participating in READ the BOOK challenge that is about to start? You may get some great ideas from it

Re: Minor question during this 14 day induction.

I agree with the others.

10 of your 20 daily net carbs are being used by that fiber supplement. And look at the trade off---a measly 5 grams of fiber and no vitamins or minerals or phytonutrients.

There are about 50 vegetables on the Induction Acceptable Foods list. About 20 of them are on the "salad" list. All the vegetables on the "salad" list can be cooked--including the lettuces. In fact, I think some of them are better cooked, like mushrooms, peppers, bok choy, and fennel. A chicken or beef stir-fry with peppers and mushrooms make a great meal.
