Sue - I try to stay around 25 grams/day. To be honest, I haven't done a strict induction...I haven't given up coffee and I eat nuts and lo-carb bread and tortillas. I'm careful to eat my veggies, drink enough water and not overdo cheese or nuts and so far, it's worked.

I have been exercising and I think it makes a huge difference. I do 30-40 mins of cardio 5x/wk. I was very exercise-phobic but joined a gym 3 weeks ago and now I really look forward to going.
