Induction day 12 off to a new start

[zac55]

Hi guys

I'm impressed with the level of knowledge available on this forum! I have been on Induction now for 12 days and have lost 11 pounds, feel pretty tired, however today I realised that I was dehydrated. So after drinking a couple of litres of water the induction flu feelings started to subside.

Im in it for the long haul I have 70 pound to lose and I have started reading Gary Taubes GBGC, I am super motivated and glad I joined the forum

Congratulations on what you've done so far! Yep, water...that's the key to feeling better and getting your organs working correctly! Make sure you"re drinking plain water ... if not it doesn't count toward the 64 ounce minimum daily.

Keep up the great job!

I like CGBC - a bit heavy sometimes but OK.
Welcome and congrats on your losses.

Hi adrililuc,

I'm on day 18 and have lost altogether 14 pounds, I had a cold this week but it was more of a head congestion type of feeling, im purple on the sticks which made me feel good as the time I done atkins years ago I could never get them to budge, the only issue I have is the strange looks I get in restaurants when I don't get bread or potatoes lol

The color is not important.

You could be in ketosis without changing the color of the sticks. Or you could turn the sticks dark purple and still not lose weight.

Focus on following the plan correctly. The sticks are not telling you that.

Make sure you're drinking enough water!! That will help keep you from getting dehydrated and also will keep your body working properly! Good luck

Hi guys,

So its now day 22 and i have went from 242lbs to 225lbs, I put a shirt on today that hasn't fitted me in a year

Anyway some observations I made, I started drinking 3 litres of water but I still noticed weakness in my muscles and generally feeling down. Last night I got some potassium supplements and a stronger multi-vitamin, I know its sounds like magic but it worked within hours, I started feeling better immediatly.

So I will continue on now happy in the knowledge that I am living off my fat

Nice progress. Way to work it
Eat your veggies too (yes I am channeling your mother)

Hi there!
Wow you're doing GREAT!!
Good for you!!

Also, w/ your potassium and multi-vitamin, maybe take an extra shot of B-12 complex. That might help too!
You can get pills or the dropper thingy that goes under your tongue. Not sure how many carbs it'd have though.. lol

Anyway, good for you and I hope your weak/tired feeling away.
