Re: gain on induction

People put too much emphasis on ketosis. You can gain and still be in ketosis just like you can lose and not be in ketosis. Ignore the strips.

If it's close to TOM you probably have a lot of water retention going on, especially if you haven't been drinking all your water. Try drinking extra water to flush it out.

Re: gain on induction

Ketosis is not a guarantee. If you are in ketosis but are eating 4000 calories a day you will gain. Chances are your gain is water. Drink more pure water and your body will not work so hard to hold onto the water inside. And try not to obsess about it. Weigh weekly and know when it is near TOM some gains are likely, but they are temporary.

Re: gain on induction

put the scales away until day 15 and see how much smaller you are then. we didn't gain it linearly and we will not lose it linearly but our overall trend will be downward.

If you want to post exactly what you're eating, with net carbs and quantities, we can take a look.

You need to drink ALL your water.

Re: gain on induction

Carrots are not induction veggies
A lot of sweetener can be a problem. I lose better when I cut them out. Limit is 3 a day. Do not go over. Make sure you have enough legal veggies. (3 cups)

Re: gain on induction

sounds like you have that exercise and eating working. carrots are not alowed because of their glycemic index values until OWL rung 8 so pick a legal vewggie from your acceptanle induction veggies lists to use as your snack.

you are right constipation can cause scale weight gain.
more water and maybe some fiber could assist you with that.

>>im probably only eating 1500 to 1800 calories>>

You're starving yourself. You probably need about 1,000 more calories right now.

>>i drink diet soda>>

How much WATER do you drink? You need about 150 ounces. Not enough water can mean constipation.

>>i have a cup of sugar free jello>>

Junk. Have real food.

Re: gain on induction

Re: gain on induction

>>did not know that about the carrots>>

Are you reading the book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (2002)? Do you have a copy of Acceptable Foods for Induction?

>>im not drinking enough water im drinking like on glass a day>>

I'm surprised you even pee.

PLEASE, PLEASE find out how to do Atkins correctly before you really mess yourself up!
