Induction day 14

[amilaine]

Well i completed my first 14 days of clean induction lost a total of 9 pounds and a lot of inches i was wearing a size 12/14 jeans now i fit into a size 9 awesome! wore a pair of jeans that didnt fit in 2 years . I know i wouldve lost more but im am extremely constipated i know it sounds grose but had to post it lol! I am drinking my 64 fl oz of recommended water sometimes i think even more on certain days dont know whats going on. Yesterday i purchased a psyllum hulk powder from gnc unflavored that stuff was horrible to drink because of its texture. Today was a little gassy but no relief yet going to continue to drink it according to the label it can take up to 72 hrs after using we will see. Im going to stay in induction for a couple of more weeks will keep you all posted. If any suggestions please feel free to share

Congratulations!

I know i wouldve lost more but im am extremely constipated

How many grams of fiber are you consuming, on average, from vegetables?

I am drinking my 64 fl oz of recommended water sometimes i think even more on certain days

Most people seem to do better when drinking more than 64 oz. A rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces... daily.

that stuff was horrible to drink

You can use psyllium husks in recipes.

Or you can make recipes that use flax seeds... like a muffin in a minute.

Ummm... have you read Chapters 12 and 13 in DANDR 2002?

If any suggestions please feel free to share

Yep. Move to OWL. You have about 30 lbs left to lose and have a low degree of metabolic resistance. There's no reason to stay on Induction longer.

Re: Induction day 14

atkins book

What's the title of your book and the copyright year?

if you have a lot of wght to lose

You don't have "a lot" of weight to lose. 30 lbs might seem "a lot" to you... but it wasn't considered so by Dr. Atkins.

Re: Induction day 14

congrats on your great start.

try drinking more fluids to help your fiber move along. you can add your fiber to your food. there is a recipe for psyllium husk pancakes you can make that are induction legal or you could just add it to your eggs stirred up in a cup with a healthy fat like either butter or cream cheese and then nuked to make a muffin type breakfast food

Re: Induction day 14

If I really get constipated those fibres do not really do it for me. But I hope you get some relief soon.
