Ketone stip moderate - pink yeah! it is working....

2nd day of induction

My eldest grandson, PICKLES, love him with all my heart and forever!

Yesterday went really well, really like day 3 on induction but think the first day I ate something outside the induction phase. I was really nauseated last night when I went to sleep. Might have been my evening medication or my withdrawal from my Crystal light addiction that I did tons of instead of water. did 12 8oz glass down yesterday with 8-8oz glasses plus 4 more for extra toxic shuttle...

Ordered from Carbsmart.com today and got a few induction friendly items, they look great and I am serious about livin' la vida low carb lifestyle... I also ordered last week from Chocoperfection, really excited about those and hope they live up to everything that they claim. I don't like the Atkins bars or shakes, yuck! But guess what I ate and ate and ate them. I personally added them to meals and they kept me triggered for carbs... Protein and fats in my diet seem to be the only thing that causes me to really stop feeling starving all the time.

I am an ex-low-fat-dieter. And truly believe that is why I gained all this extra weight. I bit into this lifestyle and carb loaded with all the confidence that I was going to lose weight and didn't. No big surprise when I look at the lose of fat equaled SUGAR, I realized this a long time but didn't really understand that low carbing lifestyle wasn't just eating eggs, cheese and bacon! I do enjoy them know but it is so much more than that, which I am happy to have found...

I listen to Livin' La Vida Low Carb everyday, the podcasts are awesome and keep me going in not only making it fun but keeping me up to date with all the research and education myself of what this life style is going to look like for me in the long run. I agree with Jimmy pick and plan and do it like it is written and do it for the rest of your life. I've been low carbing off and one for over a year and really feel especially mentally better when I'm low carbing. Staying aways from the whites like sugar and flours... my body seems to function really well on whey protein and unflavored soy drinks I make and I don't feel crazy out of control around food. But once I put that stuff in my mouth - it triggers something inside of me that can't seem to stop. I hate that it does that and probably is more mental for me but it is like I must keep going until I am sick. Well, if I can stay away from living that way one day at a time for the rest of my life. AMEN!

Just a few lines on what life is like for this low-carber.

Atkins

Yep! I'm a low carber... learning a lot on blogs and podcasts, youtube and alike. Looking forward to sharing my story here and my journey with losing weight and getting healthy... I'm in day 50 (this attempt)and have never done induction according to the book, so here I go day ONE on induction... I actually started doing Atkins or should I say low-carb with a vegetarian friend of mine. Silly really but did it for a few months, lost at least 30 pounds and then went back to carbs... OH no it wasn't pretty. So now I am back down 18 pounds and want to lose 84.5 more! Yeah, so wish me well as I journal this journey and learn how to do this new way of living - which I believe is the right way for me, hand down, I'm a carb addict and have no control when it comes to slammin' carbs in my mouth.... I've educated myself fully and am ready to join with all the others who are here to do this life style. Special thanks to Livin' La Vida Low Carb and so many others for such great educational programs and sites. So many I'm been 'saturating' myself in them all, no pun intended...
Welcome and please let me know how you are doing on your low carb lifestyle
