I blew it, Day 1 Induction . . .

ahall24 · 01-29-2008, 08:20 AM

I can't believe it! I went back over what I ate yesterday and found an oopsie. I completely didn't check the carb count, bummer.

B: 2 Sausage Patties & 1 Slice Cheese
L: 3 Chicken Salad Rolls wrapped in Lettuce
D: Steak & 1/2 C Green Beans

I know it looks all well but in the Chicken Salad w/Mayo I also used Dill Relish which I went back to check that night and found it had 3 carbs in a Tbsp. and right up under the carbs it said 3 sugars. OMG! I didn't know this.
Should I start over at Induction Day 1 today or keep on trucking and watch out better?

Just keep a close eye on what your doing, I mean it was only day one and you already did AWSOME.

Exactly how did you blow it? The 3 carbs and the bit of sugar should be ok -just remember to read labels.

It took me a while to remember to read all labels, they sneak sugar and [u]corn syrup[u] in everything! You are doing great, just keep going!!

Hey, you wouldn't believe the number of mistakes I made back when I did this the first time.

I kept subracting the fibre from the carbs on the nutrition label, as it says in DANDR. Trouble is, here in the UK, the fibre is already deducted.

The fist time I got a negative number of carbs I thought "hang on..."

It took me weeks to realise tea and coffe had carbs (well now they say coffee doesn't) and I needed to count them.

I made plenty of mistakes like that, I still did good (lost 80lbs in the end.) Just hang in there and keep learning.

I just wouldn't do it again during Induction, is all. Relax - you've got 42 Induction meals to eat and this one ingredient is barely a blip on the screen.

I'd up my veggie intake, though.

you learned an important lesson for being an atkins success at a very cheap cost
Know the carb count, the ingredients and if it is legal for your phase before it goes in your mouth.

Thanks you guys for all the response posts. You are all such and encouragement for me to endure!

Ahall they do make SF Relish. I believe Klasic makes one and so does MT olive. Just be sure to read the label.
I live in SC and a local place makes it. And its 0 carbs, 0fat, 0 sugar. I cant do Tuna or Chicken salad w/o relish

No, tea in its natural form (without added fruits, for example) does not have carbohydrates. Just watch the herbal ones and flavored ones for things added.

There are sugar free dill and sweet pickle relishes out there. Enjoy
