On Monday I will have completed my two weeks on Induction and I have three questions:

First, going through everyone's advise I have started using fitday.com. I absolutely love it, but I have realized that I am not taking in enough calories. My weight is at 185 should I should be getting about 1850 - 2200 calories. In actuality I'm really taking in about 800 - 1200. I posted before about not being hungry AT ALL. I was told I needed to increase the amount of calories. So my question is what foods are really high in calories but still okay for Induction?

Second, I lost the ten pounds in week 1 of Induction and have not seen any change since then. Is it possible to stall after only one week of loss? Believe me I am happy with the loss, but I have so much more to lose...

Third, what types of food can we add in OWL? Pretty much everyone in the my office is thinking of doing the diet, so at this point I have no idea who is reading my book now.

Advice and answers really appreciated, Thanks

Fats are the most concentrated calories you can get.

Olive oil, butter, mayo all have around 100 calories per tablespoon. So adding these helps get those calories up without adding additional bulk to make you feel stuffed.

It is quite normal to lose lots of weight the first couple of weeks and then slow down. It has taken me over a year to lose 50 pounds. We didn't gain the weight over night or within a months time so we tend to expect it to come off over night because well we as humans are impatient with these things.

During OWL you get to experiment This is the time you find your magic carb number that makes you gain weight. If you have been at 20 carbs a day, go to 25 carbs a day for 2 weeks. Then go to 30 carbs a day for two weeks until you gain. That is the magic number you need to stay under for the rest of your life in order to maintain your weight. After you find your magic number you can then drop back down in the 25 range or lose slower and have more food choices at a higher number.

I find I can eat a lot of different foods at this point, of course my weight loss is slow, but I can enjoy a baked potatoe now and then with my steak, or a hot dog at a baseball game.

Moderiation is the key.
