What induction did for me

denese3t · 11-30-2007, 08:26 AM

Well yesterday was my last day of induction. I actully did it with no cheats! It has been an amazing 2 weeks. Here is what happened in just 2 weeks:

18 pounds lost
almost no cravings
less hunger
no binging
blood sugar is not high
my skin is clear
headaches are gone
im off my depression meds
no depression
less anxiety
more energy through the day
sleeping at night with no pills to help

wow! Great job.
What was your starting weight?
Be sure to take pics too.

denese3t · 11-30-2007, 08:36 AM

Thanks! I started in September at 170 lost to 160. Then got off cuz I felt depressed,thought it was the diet. I gained 18 pounds. So this time around I weighed 178 when I started induction and now im back to 160. I have pictures in my gallery, which i cant wait to add to!

woo hoo for you I love those day 15 yippppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I lost posts.

you moving to OWL?
remember to talk to your doc about being off those meds as some have nasty withdrawal symptoms and need to be tapered off.

Tylar_Connar · 11-30-2007, 08:58 AM

WOW,that is what I need to do STRICT induction for 2 weeks and be at 160..not that our results would be the same but start weight would be.
What did your menu look like?

4females · 11-30-2007, 10:51 AM

Wow.. Congrats!!!! Keep up the great work.

denese3t · 11-30-2007, 10:53 AM

I am moving on to OWL and see how that goes. As for my induction menu, it was terrible, but it worked for me. I ate lots of fast food cuz i dont like to cook. I ate tons of double cheeseburgers from mcdonalds, remove the bun ad eat it on revolution roll. did the same with bacon egg and cheese biscuits for breakfast. I ate these everyday. also ate taco bell,just the inside of a taco.I ate salads, and the tops of pizza. I know it sounds really bad, but fast food is what im used to eating and what I luv the taste of. so it kept me from cheating. I do plan to eat healthier now that i got the hardest part(just getting started) out of the way. I also have so much more energy, so I feel like cooking for a change. That will help im sure. And i'm so so thirsty that I drink ALOT. 2 gallons of water and 6-8 diet soda's a day. I also plan to kick the diet soda habit along the way.

GREAT JOB!!! were you watching your calories at all or just carb count? I am on day 5 of induction, and today I woke up feeling the best. No headache and I feel full of energy. This way of eating ROCKS!!!

can you post an example menu of what you ate pretty please

Tylar_Connar · 11-30-2007, 02:22 PM

yeah, i am use to eating out too..but when i am doing lowcarb i tend to cook more.

ajcav062197 · 12-01-2007, 04:19 AM

I want to hear more. I want to start induction but am having difficulty getting started.

Your doing great.

Love your avater btw.

Your menu cracks me up....only because I know fast food is bad for me, but I swear when I eat it I lose. I always eat the double cheeseburgers (minus ketchup) from McD's and sometimes I get the chix ranch wrap - I eat everything but the wrap and buns.

See you can lose weight from fast food, you just have to know the rules! haha

Congrats on your loss! keep it up.

Linven · 12-02-2007, 07:26 PM

Great job, denese!!!

LowcarbingitinMI · 12-02-2007, 07:31 PM

Fantastic!

Warm Sun & A Chair · 12-02-2007, 07:40 PM

That is great! Just shows if you stay on the plan it works! And look how great you feel... so happy for you!

NATH · 12-07-2007, 12:49 PM

I ate fast food a lot too and I do feel SO GREAT! I have never stuck to anything - including Atkins in the past like now - 2 weeks in and no desire to go off. Loving it and even if it takes forever, at least I am not a slave to the food anymore and not so seriously depressed. We are doing it!

LoveSunshine · 12-07-2007, 08:35 PM

That's awesome! WTG!! I wish we had fast food around here, LOL.

atcgirl42 · 12-07-2007, 08:38 PM

That is an amazing weight loss considering that you're so close to goal! Woo hOO! Congratulations!

emitch · 12-08-2007, 07:25 AM

Very very impressive!! This gives me great hope

iamwhoiam · 12-08-2007, 08:06 AM

You go, were u starving your self I mean that is incredible.

Canadianjanie · 12-08-2007, 07:29 PM

I will definately say since i fell off the low carb woe i have way less energy of course weight gained back..and a general blah feeling....i was on it a whole year... with such small cheats i didn't even count them as they were generally too much salad or mayo or meat ( caloric wise)...I know i have to get back on...why am i having such a hard time...esp. this time of year
janie
