i kill my sweet craving by eating one sugar free Jello cup with Redi_Whip on top. i KNOW i KNOW! but i am checking to make sure i stay within my 20 carb grams and am using the ketostix to make sure. and i dont use a whole cup of redi-whip and it has only traces of carbs in it.

i have been on induction nine days and have lost 7 lbs. and i dont know how many inches cause i didnt measure til one week into it.

my biggest problem is i am not hungry now. i am almost having to force myself to eat. its great. and i have no compunction to eat carbs. i had to make chicken spaghetti for my family last night and when i got ready to taste the spaghetti to check for doneness i really did not want to put in my mouth, so i hollered for my kid and made her tell me if it was done or not.

Pork rinds were a big help. i didnt know you could eat them until 5 days in to induction. They were nice for muchies at work (before atkins i used to eat chips at work every morning and this replaces it nicely - still crunchy)
