Induction Info
I'm hoping some of you can share some insight and wisdom!
I began the Atkins Induction on Monday ( 4 days ago ) and have lost 5 pounds. I did a ketosis test yesterday, and I'm there. I'm happy about that! And I must say, so far this has been a very easy process. Other than being slightly constipated for a few days, I'm feeling great.
A few questions though...
I've tallied my carbs in FitDay and come up with 21. Should I worry about that one extra carb?
And how high should a protein count be? What is acceptable? My stats are:
Calories = 1872
Fat = 67%
Carbs = 3%
Protein = 30%
Am I where I should be? Am I over analyzing as usual??
Another issue is that I'm having problems sleeping. ( I hate that!) I've read that upping your carbs works, but I hesitate to do that, as I'm already above the 20 allowed during Induction. What to do???
And finally - Is one cup of coffee in the morning really a big deal? I COULD switch to defaf if I had to.
Thanks!
Lolly
