Hey everyone. I'm brand new here, and today is my fourth day of induction. I'm feeling really great about it so far! I have a handful of questions I'd like answered before I get too far though, and I thought this place would be a great place to ask!
1. My fat tends to be slightly lower than 65%. I average from 55-65%, but mostly I'm around 58-61. Will this lead to issues? If so, what are some ways to add more fat in my diet? I cook liberally in olive oil (my spinach can be drenched in it!), and I eat 3 ounces of full fat cheese a day. I've been trying to add in bacon when I can, but sometimes I just don't feel like it.
2. I know the book (mine's from 2002) says we should eat a max of 3-4 ounces of cheese in induction. I've been aiming for 3 since I'm a woman, relatively small, and cheese has some carbs/can stall weight loss. I figure that's one of the upper limits, so I probably shouldn't push it...but sometimes I really want a fourth ounce. Given my circumstances, would that be pushing it? I keep my carbs below 20 every day and my veggies to 3 cups (2 of salad veggies).
3. I haven't felt sick, nauseated, or had a headache once. I feel like induction is going pretty easily for me. I'm also dropping weight fairly quickly, which is fantastic. But I have this awful, weird taste in my mouth. When does that do away?
