  • My first day on Induction (Initial blood test results + Menus)

    Well... my first day on induction is getting closer to its end, it's 10:30pm and here's a breakdown:

    7:30am - Wake up, shower and get dressed

    8:10am - Arrive at clinic to get my blood tested for cholesterol, triglycerides and other stuff... I'll be taking monthly measurements to see if my levels improve.

    8:20am - In less than 10 minutes 3 tubes of blood left my body, and around $40 dollars left my wallet Results will be ready at 5:30pm

    8:30am - Got back home and had 3 scrambled eggs with butter and 3oz of left-over filet mignon, had maybe 100ml of Coke-Zero and around 400ml of water.

    9:00am - Arrive at work.

    12:45pm - Had 8oz of broiled rib-eye seasoned with red pepper, black pepper, garlic, paprika and salt... just delicious! A handfull of lettuce, some broccoli, 2oz pepper-jack cheese, half a Hass avocado and some celery with 2 spoons (1carb) of blue-cheese dressing, all drizzled with olive oil.

    5:45pm - Pick up my test results, my blood chemistry (including blood sugar) looks great but my uric acid is high (8.9mg/dL), my bad cholesterol is high (225mg/dL) and my triglycerids are SKY HIGH (503mg/dL) well, that was expected having had a high-carb life for so long

    6:15pm - Had 6oz of grilled skirt-meat (we call it "arrachera" here in México) with some butter and the same seasoning as the rib-eye, 2oz pepper-jack cheese, handfull of lettuce, handfull of celery, 2 spoons of blue-cheese dressing and the other half of the avocado, all drizzled with olive oil.

    8:00pm - Had 15min of medium intensity bicycle, with 2-minute high intensity bursts. Moving my legs made me wanna go to the throne, and I did... generously...

    9:00pm - Had 3 scrambled eggs with butter, a bit of mustard and 2oz of fresh bacon (from the butcher, it's less salty)

    I didn't really keep track of how much water I had, but a wild guess would be around 1 gallon, which must be some kind of record for me...

    I feel great so far...

    Your thoughts?

    I think you're doing good. Keep it up. I would cut out that coke and I would watch not getting too much cheese. Also remember only 3 cups of veggies. And a cup is a fairly small amount.

    Hope you have just as good a day today.

    And good for you taking that bloodtest!!!

      if you don't already you might want to enter your food into FitDay (free accounts are wonderful) so you know how you are doing on your ratios of fat/protein/carbs daily.

      be sure to get a variety of meats, fish and veggies so you don't get bored with the "same old thing" --

      good luck!

        Thanks for the replies

        I created an account on Fitday but for some reason I can't pinpoint I didn't like it, so I made an Excel spreadsheet that calculates the ratios in calories and grams, and it also has a graph for my weight and blood parameters.

        What I'm doing is buy some beef and eat it a couple of days untill I finish it, then buy some pork and do the same, then I'll do some fish, etc. Takes me a couple of days to get bored of the same thing, so I think this might work

        I'm starting to get a funny taste in my mouth and a slight headache... I believe I'm about to go into ketosis!

        My pee is bright yellow (like anti-freeze ) and smells funny too...

        I'm drinking around 1-1.5 gallons of dihydrogen monoxide

            It's only on Atkins where you see people excited to get a headache.
