Hi, my name is Kristi, I am 36 yrs old and started induction on Monday. I am happy to say I am in Ketosis, dark purple. I signed up for fitday this morning and think I will like that tool in keeping track. I'm 225lbs and need to lose about 75 lbs. I look forward to the support I hope to receive on my journey.

Re: Would like to introduce myself.
Hi and welcome --
The color doesn't mean much -- dark can mean you are dehydrated so make sure you are drinking the MINIMUM 64 ounces of pure water daily. There are no "degrees" of keotsis -- purple isn't any better than pink or beige - you're either in keotsis or your aren't.
Eat only foods listed on the acceptable food list http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?) make sure you eat a variety of foods and vegetables and count all “net carbs”. Plan your meals for a few days so you have everything in your home and you won’t be tempted to eat something not allowed. Check Linda's recipe site it will help keep you from eating the same thing over and over -- http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/menus.html.
Good luck to you.Carole_____________________May Water 130oz daily
