  • I was out doing errands all day and don't know what to eat while outside..

    My situation is that I am not employed where I can bring lunch with me. I am out doing errands, walking here and there, taking buses to different places and I just started this induction last monday so I am only on for a week.

    I came home from being out and ended up so hungry that i ended up eating alot of chopmeat with 6 eggs and flax seed!

    I felt tired the rest of the afternoon and slept for a few hours and got back up.

    What is happening to my body when I feel tired? am i burning muscle?

    What can a person eat while they are on induction and have to be out walking around here and there?

    Do you carry a bag with you?

    Did you have any veggies?

    It would be much better to have smaller meals throughout the day instead of eating 6 eggs and "alot of chopmeat" in a sitting.

    am i burning muscle?
    No.

    What can you carry with you? A cooler bag, maybe?

    You could have string cheese, veggies (cucumber and celery sticks, radishes, pepper strips, cherry tomatoes), flax crackers, some meat...

      Yes, I do carry a pocketbook. Thanks for your response.

      Cheese is a trigger food for me i am afraid and cannot even touch cheese. I walk alot around town and bringing a cooler would get in the way of my walking around I am afraid. I walk 20 minutes just to the bus stop to get anywhere to begin with! (which is healthy anyway!!)

      sliced cucumber and celery sounds good for me to stick in my bag. How many carbs aprox to one stick of celery?

        You can carry an insulated lunch sack ... that won't get in the way of your walking.

          they make fanny pack cooler bags now too so you can pack anything you need while you are out walking around.

          being tired is a sign your body needs some energy. Since you are a newbie your body was a great glucose fuel burner and now you are changing it over to a fatty acid and ketones fuel burner promarily and it takes the body a while to make more of those "fuel plants" and to create more of the carrier molecules to move the fats from body storage to the cells that need them and then other transportors to move them around in those new fuel plants being built.

            Are you eating enough for breakfast?
            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
            Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
