hey ladies -- hmm. i restarted induction myself this weekend and had migraines two days in a row. i also had several migraines when i was doing induction strictly for 10 days. i think this might be because i'm on an ssri antidepressant for migraines, and my brain might need some more carbs for the ssri to be effective.

so -- i am upping my carbs to an experimental 60 carbs/day to see if i can lose weight _and_ avoid migraines. however, even at the higher amount, i have lost another half pound. perhaps instead of 'burning fat', i will just be reducting calories this way; not sure how the science of fat burning is affected. i'll let you know how it goes.

i'm planning to spend my extra carbs mostly on extra portions of vegetables, and still avoid sugars and grain products.
