    21 gm carbs during induction

    Hello

    TOdays day3 of my induction, and while using fitday, I calculated consuming 21 gm of carbs (I think it's coz I added barbeque sauce to my salad!!).

    Will that stop my weight loss?

    I promised myself I won't weigh myself till the end of this week, but I sneakily stepped on the scale today and saw no change...

    Feeling a lil

    I think you'll be ok... but did you deduct the fiber from total carbs to get 'net carbs?' I paniced when I first used fitday, as I didn't know about subtracting fiber. then i figured out i needed MORE.

      Nope, 1 extra gram won't stop your weight loss.

      You "sneakily stepped on the scale"... hmm, I supposed it wasn't the first thing you did in the morning. Your weight depends on the time of the day, clothes you wear, water you drank, time since last meal, etc. And then it's not magic. If not seeing a loss after just 3 days makes you feel , wait until the end of the 2nd week and then step on the scale.

      The rate at which you lose also depends on how many extra pounds you have (a number not so easy to figure out by the way). Typically, one loses 5-10% of these after the first 2 weeks.

        Ahhh!! I didn't know about subtracting the fiber...so then I'm good Thank you Kellen!

        You are right, Georgiana...I need to be consistent while weighing myself...Anyway, I think for the next time, I'll wait till the 14-day induction is over..

            Hang in there. try your best to stay below or at 20 cbs especially in the first few days. I've made the bbq sauce mistake myself and it will stall or prevent your weight loss in induction, it has sugar in it. Don't give up just keep at it. Best of luck!!

One day at a time.

              Just subtract the fiber and you should be good ... Good luck!
