My first 2 weeks of Induction ended this am. I am down 15 lbs. I didn't cheat one time, but did go over carbs several times. I made some mistakes, like eating nuts, thought I could, and not counting Splenda. All in all it wasn't so bad after the first 4 days. I was really sick coming off sugar/carbs.

Had intense chocolate cravings twice, so started L-glutamine. Tonight I actually cried I wanted some chocolate so bad. I think it is time to start making some recipes for these times. No TOM, over that.

I surely would like to have some strawberries, but I am scared to add anything this soon.

How long did you stay on Induction and did you continue to lose a lot? I would be very happy with a 2-3 lb. loss a week, but have done this long enough to know that is not reality.

Thanks for all the caring and sharing you have given me. It shows in my stats.
