Re: how much water

>>reakfast , 2 egg omlette with cheese and now with added tomato (for extra carb)

mid morning , maybe 2 eggs or couple slices of bacon

lunch chicken with about a pint glass and half full of salad greens (mixed from supermarket )

evening meal
meat, ie chops or steak x2 with again maybe pint glass and a half of brocolli>>

This can't really be enough food for you.

You might want to figure out how many calories that is ... and how many net carbs you're eating.

Undereating is counter-productive with Atkins.

Make sure you get all your water ... then have the "other" drinks!

Not being hungry doesn't mean you're getting enough food.

One of the side effects of ketosis is appetite suppressant.

Do yourself a favor and calculate how much you're eating in net carbs and calories.

I bet you a fiver that you're undereating!

>> its not looking that good so far is it>>

At least you see it, too!

I guess you owe me a fiver!!!

How much cheese are you having that is 3 net carbs?

Coffee and cream both have carbs.

What's in your omelet?

Why not some more meat at breakfast?

How much chicken is 322 kcals? What kind of chicken?

How much steak?

Re: how much water

lol yer im having the 3oz allowed of cheese maybe not all in my omlette ill save a bit if im hungry in the day ,im having 2 medium coffees and my omlette is just 2 eggs a little cream with a tomato and the cheese , sometime ill have bacon for breakfast but its usually either bacon and eggs or omlette ,
the chicken is a large breast or maybe a couple of legs
and the steak is medium size rump mmmmmm
its really hard to know what extra to add especially when you dont feel hungry
also ill have a spoonfull of mayo with most meals

Re: how much water

3 ounces of cheddar cheese is 1.09 net carbs (using the USDA).

You should be getting MOST of your carbs from Induction vegetables.

I just don't see how some tomato and some broccoli and some salad greens is MOST of your daily net carbs.

Given your workout routine ... I would try to get as close to 25 net carbs as possible ... with MOST (15 or so) of those coming from Induction vegetables.

Re: how much water

ok thanks ill definate eat more veg and yesterday upped my water now to bout 3.5 litres ,it will be quite hard to eat more veg as i feel im eating quite a bit already ,but if i have a couple of tomatoes with my salad at lunch they are quite high and say handful of or extra greens ,then extra brocolli for evening meal and im gonna get some advocado as well ,how much of that would you think i should eat a day? do you think this will be better
thanks again

Re: how much water

Eat eggs and bacon or bangers for brekkie.

On your salads, add radish or cucumber or tomato or peppers--every little bit helps and they all have more nutrition than lettuce alone.

With your meat at dinner fry up some peppers and onions early in the week and warm them up with your meat. The fat you fry them in will also help up your kcals.

The green tea acts as a diuretic making it even MORE IMPORTANT to drink extra water. Coffees and teas mean you need to add extra water on top of the 2 liters for each cuppa you ingest.

Mushrooms, Apple Cider Vinegar, Avocado, Strawberries (rung 4), Tomatoes, Cucumber, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Chard, Bell pepper, Eggplant, Turmeric, Parsley, Spinach, Broccoli, Tuna, Halibut are some high potassium foods to consider.

Re: how much water

many thanks ive managed my 3.5 litres of water today , and ill also fry up some pepp;ers later to add to some meals

Re: how much water

>>bangers f>>

In my experience, bangers very often have ingredients like rusk, etc. that would make them not acceptable on Induction ... even until later in OWL.

I'm sure that such filler free bangers exist though!

Good job! ... of course, you can spread the water throughout the day. No need to get it all in by mid-afternoon!

Re: how much water

thanks easier to drink the water while im at work and i agree with the bangers most ive found are quite high carb

Re: how much water
