Day two on induction
I am on day two of my induction and it is a nice feeling. I have not been on a true induction for years and had to own up to myself about that and how that could possibly be why my last thirty attempts at low carb have failed. I say attemps because if you are not truely following the rules, you are not really working that plan.
I was diagnoised with at least the start of diabetes and I do not want drugs and sticking my fingers to be my future and it pretty much scared me straight. I have a bunch of samples of lipitor he wanted me to start too and my blood pressure has been a bit high as well after a life time, even through four pregnancies of 120/80, it is inching up. I have to do this and I have to do this right. I am fighting for my future health and life.
I am a true carb addict. No doubt in my mind. It is very clear to me that I cannot eat that way anymore and when I decided to go on Atkins I made the choice to do it right finally.
I started my induction yesterday and probably will stay on an extended one until I see my blood sugars normalize and stay there for a while. I have to get some weight off and balance the sugars and that is top priority to me. I am grateful I picked a time free of food holidays and family birthdays to start my plan so nothing stands in the way of a successful induction. Once on induction, even halfway like I was, the cravings go away adn I am fine. Being on a true induction should make it even easier to get to that point.
So, it is good to be here and I am working hard to read all I can and I am sticking to the Atkins rules like glue and look forward to seeing my health improve and my cravings disapear. I feel at peace that I am on the right path.
