Hi
Thanks so much everyone for your support!!
I am going to try and do induction again. Because I really didn't do it very strictly. I ate the low carb candy bars (just a bite after meals), and also ate the low carb tortilla wraps (3 effective carbs) every morning for my breadfast with a scrambled egg and two strips of turkey bacon.
Also I drank the low carb hot chocolate that I made from heavy cream. And carb free chocolate.
I was below the 20 carb every day - but not in the right way.
So I think this may be what my problem is - I may have never reached the right ketosis level to make this work right.
Also my system if probably really out of wack - I'm going through menopause right now. And I know this can make your estrogen levels go wacky!
Two weeks without something sweet will be really hard for me, cause I am real a sweet-aholic.

Is there anything sweet you are alowed to have on induction??

I have always have to just a bite of something sweet to eat after a meal. Thats why when I found the Atkin's candy bar - I was thrilled - Thought I may be able to do this diet afterall.
Hopefully, I can make it through 2 weeks with nothing sweet to eat

Thanks Again For All The Help
