4 days of induction eating, 3 pounds gone, gotta love it!

I have been eating to induction numbers for four days and it is kicking in now, for sure!

The stomach problems (acts like colitis) I have been experiencing all year, which kicked my butt into serious gear, are still here, but are already better...

Yesterday's dinner was green salad, steamed broc, cauli and summer squash in a lemon dill cream sauce, and baked lemon dill cod.... YUM. Tonight will be grilled chicken thighs (maybe Thai style, haven't decided yet ) with salad, and creamed cukes. There is still nothing boring about induction for me, although I am not doing real well in avoiding processed meats. I have been eating lots of pepperoni cheese crisps and not eating breakfast early enough, but that will change naturally with time ... no worries.

I am determined to feel better again, and better nutrition is the fastest path, of that much I am sure.

This most recent rededication to strict low-carb eating is not about the scale, and so I will try to avoid it, no WAY will I weigh daily ever again, maybe not even weekly, but I did hop on it once before starting and then again this morning, and I am down three pounds in four days. Losing that much water already makes me feel better, and soon, subsequent losses will be all fat - oh, and let's not forget, PAIN!

And oh, yeah.... I can now tell you that after TEN + YEARS, your Tanita scale may need new batteries... mine did! lol. How nice that it retained of its custom settings (height, sex, etc. for measuring body fat%) during the battery change!

  1. I'm proud of you Karen. You are such a good example for us long term low carbers. Can you share your Easter meal plans with us?

  2. Hey there, Spicey Tea, nice to 'speak' with you again. :)
    I have a small turkey thawed out, but that's just because I didn't have a ham in the freezer instead, and no "sales" to speak of convinced me to buy a ham this week. We are having a hard time right now and I have vowed only to purchase meat from the store before the freezer is empty if the price is amazing. :P And the only thing amazing about current prices is how HIGH they are! OUCH :(
