  • One month on Induction!

    My husband and I have been on induction for one month today. Boy, were the first few days hard! We were just a little snippy with each other!! We now seem to have our eating pretty "dialed in", and have made up several weekly menu plans and shopping lists. This has really helped us.

    We moved up to OWL rung #1 last week, just to add a few more vegies to our diet--that really helped us alot!

    My DH has lost 21 lbs (30 more to go) and I have lost 17 (50 more to go). We are both feeling soooo much better, very strong and encouraged! We have been walking 45-60 minutes a day without fail, and sometimes add in an afternoon 20-30 minute walk.

    We are both VERY determined! It is surely a blessing to have a partner to do this with!

    I'm confused! You say you've been on Induction for a month ... but you've moved up to OWL (rung 1) ... so aren't you really on OWL?

          Great progress so far Well done both of you!
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

            Thanks to all of you for the support!

            To AtkinsGal08: RE: Induction or OWL 1?

            Technically, I guess we are on OWL rung 1, because we have added 5 add'l grams of carbs worth of vegies to the average amt we have been eating for the past 3 1/2 weeks. However, we are still staying below 20 grams net carbs each day, and our amount of (in cups) vegies is still not much over 3 cups total.

            So I'm not sure what you'd call it--but I'm not splitting hairs--I'm thrilled with the results!!

            Onward and downward!
