I have two question
1) Are these creamers ok for my tea? I like the small cups becoz it does all the counting and I would know that im not over dosing. here are the nutrinal facts
Ingredients:
Grade A Milk and Creme, Sodium Citrade, Carrageenan, DATEM, and Tetra Sodium Pyrophosphate.
Calories15Calories from Fat10
Total Fat1gSaturated Fat0.6gCholesterolless than 5mgSodium10mgTotal Carbohydrate0gDietary Fiber0gSugars0gProtein0gVitamin A0%Vitamin C0%Vitamin D0%Iron0%Calcium2%


2) yesterday night when I weighed myself, I was 184lbs (5lbs less) but today in the morning, after having my multivitamins and two huge beef kababs with mayo and 1 full glass of water, i weighed 186lbs. WHY TWO LBS JUMP? did i do something wrong? also last night i took two tylenole with sweet coating on them (by mistake). is that the reason why im gaining weight?

These are half and half. Since it's 50% milk, it is not allowed during Induction. Milk is an OWL Rung 2 food.

Well, what you did is like stepping on the scale with a brick in each hand. It takes some time for that food to be metabolized. Besides, weigh fluctuations throughout the day or from day to day are normal.

also last night i took two tylenole with sweet coating on them (by mistake). is that the reason why im gaining weight?

If the coating had "illegal" ingredients, just try to take something else in the future. Whatever was in the coating won't throw you out of ketosis and will not make you gain weight since the amount is really tiny.

You are not gaining weight. If you freak out about the number on the scale, it is better to stop weighing daily and instead wait until the end of Induction.

Georgiana you are the best! thankx for your quick reply coz you saved me from buying those creamer. The weight really freaked me out but I promised myself that I won't way myself for another week.

I don't know if im in ketosis, because previously on induction when i lost weight (like 3 yrs back) i use to sweat alot and that was a good indication that im in ketosis, but this time around im not sweating, just feel tired, weakness and still crave sugar. On average, how soon after starting induction can we expect ketosis to occur?

Two-four days maybe, although it depends on your degree of metabolic resistance. Physical signs of ketosis are increased energy, nasty breath, thirst. The weakness is probably a symptom of the "Induction flu" and it goes away after the first few days.

Are you taking any supplements? You should be taking at least a multivitamin. Water will also help.

I am taking one a day women's multivitamin in the mornings. The vitamins do help me feel a bit energized because when I wake up, i feel I have no energy and after breakfast + water and vitamins i feel much better.

Re: land o lakes mini moos creamer

A doctor friend told me when I started Atkins that the most effective way to weigh yourself is by doing so at the same time, under the same conditions, every day. This way you will be seeing the most accurate results possible. Factors such as toilet habits, drinking water, exercise, and food will alter your weight, so if you have the same habits daily and weigh yourself at the same time under the same conditions you will see the a more accurate picture of your progress.

Having said that, I was very impatient yesterday as I ate something I now suspect had a small amount of flour in it. I weighed myself 3 times throughout the day but fortunately continued to lose and stayed in ketosis

Good luck!
