Induction Day #2

[lowcarbgirl]

Hey everyone!

Had a successful induction day #2 today. One mistake -- I drank a can of diet soda with aspertame (which I know is a no-no) and I chewed 2 pieces of nicotine gun (sugar free, but probably counts as 2 servings of sweetner, or so I have read)

10 grams total carbs, 1800 calories.

Went for a 45 minute jog this morning, and will go tomorrow too.

Feeling good and hopeful.

Drank lots of water also.

I want to stick with this!!!!!!!!!!

How many ounces are in a can?

Yep, you read that right!

10 grams total carbs, 1800 calories.

10 grams of total carbohydrate is VERY little. Plus, it's net carbs that matter, not total carbs.

I recommend you add more net carbs from vegetables to your menu.

You need to make your account public first. You can do this from the Profile tab. You will then be given a link to your public FitDay profile. That's the one you need to paste here if you want us to take a look at your menu.

Drank lots of water also.

How much did you drink?

We count net carbs ... and I suspect you didn't have very many, which isn't a good thing.

Re: Induction Day #2

Thank you everyone!

The can of soda was 12 oz. How many servings of sweetner is that?

The 10 grams of carbs was calculated after subtracting dietary fiber. It seems that fitday doesn't accredit much carbs to lettuce at all.

Will go for more veggies today, and will keep tabs on water. Thank you everyone!!

8 ounces of liquid is a serving.

Ok. You had said "total" carbs, which is not "net" (total minus fiber).

With good reason ... there aren't very many.
