My progress:
Final night of induction= 120.4 pounds
From 128.6 pounds nearly 3 weeks ago
3 weeks ago I began walking several times/week
2 weeks ago I was under 20 carbs for induction (It took me a few days to get all the bad carbs completely out of my diet esp the soda!)
I am a low-med resistance weight loser!
After rereading DANDR tonight, my plan is to continue on extended induction (my only "cheat" is a daily cup of coffee on the 5 days/week I work- black no cream or sugar) for about 2 more weeks for a few reasons:
1) I can lose another 4-6 pounds (my goal is about 15 more) in this time before moving on to OWL
2) I would like to slowly trial in more of the induction foods so as not to develop food allergies as I tend to eat the same things over and over (eggs, spinach, red bell pepper, bacon, meat) and also so that I get exposed to some new veggies (like jicama, turnip greens, etc) that I’ve never even tried before moving on to foods that may trigger cravings.
3) I would like to give myself 2 more weeks to recover from this illness I’ve had and really stabilize my exercise regime to 30-45 min of exercise 4-5 days/week before moving up the rungs and adding new foods. That way I’ll know when I hit my upper tolerable level of carbs in OWL that its truly the upper limit and not something based on a faulty exercise regime or something.
Questions:
1)Does anyone have suggestions for how to add/prepare jicama and chicory? I know nothing about either of them.
2) Are mahi-mahi and tilapia ok to eat even if they're not listed as fish examples since the book says "all fish including..."? Was it just giving ideas there or are some fish particularly better than others?
3) Also, would it be ok to incorporate a cup of decaf green tea or two each morning with breakfast. I just started reading Atkins age-defying diet and would like to start incorporating the principles as I move up the rungs. I thought this was one I could add now.
Thanks for the support thus far...
