I'm i on extended induction or on OWL? HELP!
Hello again, need some advice!
I'm 5.8" (173)
SW66,5 kilos(146), CW64.2-65(142-143), GW62(136), DREAM-W60(132)
I work out at least twice a week.
I started on May 26.
It wasn't exactly induction because:
a. I ate about 25-30 carbs (i wasn't counting my-too many-veggies and ever raw carrots some times)
b. I ate a little bit too much cheese! Maybe 150-180gr!
c. On day 11, i ate an ice cream cone and some cookies, then continued like nothing had happened.
d. On day 18, before TOM, i struggled with myself, and came out of it victorious, just with a handful of almonds. then continued like nothing had happened.
On DAY 20-21 i read the book. Before that i learned as much as i could from about.com, atkinscenter, and over here!
e. I eat about 4 sugar free chewing gums a day.
f. I drink my 2 lt of water + 1 espresso cup totally black + 1 decaf espresso cup, everyday. Coffee doesn't give me craves.
g. I love snacking on slices of ham, pork or turkey, but i checked the labels and every thing's full of nitrates and stuff.
h. No fruits at all.
i. I take a vit-C 1000mg, a calcium+ vit-D, psillium, and a magnesium a day
I can't find low carb food, i cannot even find plain foods without maltodextrine, starches, maltitole, glucoze syrop.....etc etc.
Here in Greece, the last couple of years, it's the low fat- sugar free revolution. But we've made some progress with whole grains, if we believe labels! Of course it will be long for me till i get to reintroduce whole cereals, rice, pasta into my life!
And here is the question:
Do you think I could go on like this, at my pace?
Will i lose the weight, even slowly, as if i was doing OWL?
For the moment i can see the scale going 2 pounds up and down everyday!
(I know i shouldn't weight myself everyday but it's helping me monitoring myself)
I plan on leaving on vacation for about a month going to Holland and then Bali (Indonesian food - Fruits - Coctails' paradise).What should i do?
Continue this way, loosely and restart a strict induction when i get back?
Please advise!
I'm getting discouraged when the scale goes up!
