My first question is: why have you been on Induction for 14 weeks? Aktins says that we should increase the daily carbs by 5 grams every week until we stop losing and then go back one level until we start losing again.

If we stay at induction levels, the body will eventually adapt to that carb level. If you stall, where are you going to go then? There is no 'wiggle room".

So the first thing I'd do is increase the carbs by adding veggies and fruits as in the book.

And yes, I get cold when I drink water. I just drank 16 ounces and not 10 minutes later, I had to turn on the gas fireplace and get a fleece shawl. And then I read your post.

I'd say you are 'normal' but I'd still recommend that you increase the carbs.

Stay warm.
