Here's what I did. I bought the book then read it. While I was reading it I set a date, like you did to start. I ate what I normally did before I started and then the day or two before starting I went out and bought stuff I would need for induction. I made sure that for induction I didn't have any tempting carbs in the house. Just remember the bb is a great support network and if you end up having a rough day, this is a great place to check out.
