Hi all. Not sure where to post this so am posting here.
I have been doing Induction for weeks now. Over that time I've just jumped back and forth between 167 and 169. I have stayed on induction 1. because I haven't lost anything, and 2. because I had TOM last week so thought I should keep going to get past that. I show light pink on ketostix when I've used them. I've had NO change in the measurements that I've taken over that time - waist, neck, legs, arms. I usually drink 10 8-oz glasses of water a day. I take a multivitamin, psyllium husks, and L-Carnitine.
I'm not a doubter. I know this works. And the pink on the stix shows me SOMETHING is happening. I THINK my clothes might be getting roomier but not much if any.
Anyway, I'm trying to pinpoint if there is anything that I haven't been doing right that is holding things up. I do need to increase my exercise which I'm vowing to work on! The other thing I THINK might be an issue is not enough veggies? Have people had trouble if they are eating too much protein and not enough veggies? I'm not a huge salad lover so maybe that's why I struggle with this a bit. I use Sparkpeople to track my foods. I don't really have a 'typical' menu because I change it every day but here is yesterday's:
Breakfast:
3 eggs
.25 cup diced tomato
1 slice of american cheese
Lunch:
roast beef meat wrapped in romaine with 1/2 Tbsp mayo and 1 slice of american cheese
Snack:
Pepperoni chips
Green beans in butter (weird snack, I know, but I love green beans)
Dinner:
Two hamburger patties in romaine with a slice of cheese, 1 Tbsp pureed avocado, and 2 slices of tomato. Turnip 'chips' with salt on them.
Today is:
Breakfast:
3 eggs with .25 diced tomato, 1/2 slice american cheese, 2 oz of ham steak
Lunch:
roasted turkey in romaine with 1 slice american cheese, 1/2 Tbsp mayo
Snack:
15 black olives
1 oz mozzarella cheese
And I haven't decided on dinner yet.
I'm not whining about it not working - I'm just looking for input/ideas to help me out. Please let me know if there is info that I haven't provided that would be helpful. Thanks so much!
