And another thing: Sometimes, the ketostix are bad. They could be very old, or, the seal could have been broken (even a small hole the size of a pin prick can allow moisture into the package, thus rendering the ketostix ineffective.)

You asked for a sample meal plan of what people eat on induction. Well, DWRolfe is going on a "rerereinduction" and he always posts his menus from day to day; you can check out his journal, here: http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...&page=254&pp=15

I've also been posting my own menus in my journal, but I'm floating somewhere between OWL and induction, so the menus might prove misleading to you.
