Staying on plan while out and about

[imagood1]

I'm going into my fifth week and while I've managed to eat strawberries, blueberries and one apple without triggering a major carb fallout, though I've chosen to stay away from the starches. I did slip once when feeling like I was starving while on a shopping trip and though I did eat a raisin scone, managed to dodge the much worse things.

You say you are on extended induction -- that is a continuence of 20 carbs per day from the acceptable food list. Fruits are not part of extended induction. Rung 1 is 5 additional net carbs of vegetables from the acceptable vegetable list. Rung 2 is dairy, Rung 3 nuts.....If you are up on the berry rung you should change your information...apples are further up on the fruit rung past berries.

When you go shopping take a baggie of veggies or other acceptable food such as 1 ounce of cheese -- when you are up to the nut rung take 1 ounce of almonds or another nut on the acceptable list --that way you won't have an excuse to eat a raisin scone.
