Question stuck

I am just finishing up 7 days on the 14 day induction diet. Not hungry, no cravings. Constipated, and have only lost 4 pounds. No cheating. Meat, eggs, cottage cheese, brocolli, cheese, almonds. All in moderation, Green tea and water, lots of water. I know I will stick with it as my moods are much better and I am calmer too. Not as tired all the time. Any advise on my diet? Does it take the entire 14 days to see a significant change? I have been testing my urine. Only get to the really dark pink. What should I cut out? Thanks for the help.

the fact that you're constipated could mean you're holding onto a few more pounds than you think!

You must not suffer constipation. Up the fibre or if necessary take a mild laxaitive.

The weight will go - be patient.

Hi,

first of all - you have lost 14% already! In seven days - wow!
Average loss for 14 days is 10%. Nuts are not allowed on strict induction, but this is obviously working nice for you anyway.
Please, be happy about your progress and grateful that you are feeling better. This is not a fast weight loss, but It works and we don't go around hungry.

Not hungry, no cravings.

Way to go, clear signs of ketosis.
Just keep it up, you can do it!
If you want comments on your foods - post some typical menues or start using www.fitday.com I could not do without it in first 3 months.
Best of luck to you!

Alina

Thank you! I will keep with this! I'm never hungry. I used to live in Kaiserslautern. Danke Schoen.
