    HI GQ
    What a great idea to write down what you have been eating. If you want to
    continue this I will be one of the regular readers, as I intend to start on
    induction in a couple of weeks (not earlier due to work etc.)

    Keep it up...

    I think I did pretty well for my first day today.

    For breakfast I had 3 poached eggs, 3 slices of bacon, 1/2 of an
    avocado and a 16 oz glass of unsweetened ice tea. I always drink my
    ice tea unsweetened, so I probably won't continue to use the word
    unsweetened when posting about the ice tea I drink.

    For a snack I had 6 oz of ham.

    For lunch I had 1 cup of iceberg lettuce, 1 hard-boiled egg, 3 oz of
    canned tuna, 1/2 of an avocado, 2 tablespoons of Italian dressing (no
    sugar). I had 16 oz of water with my lunch.

    For supper I had 1 cup of iceberg lettuce, 1/2 cup of raw cauliflower,
    1 hard-boiled egg, 1 1/2 tablespoons of Italian dressing (no sugar)
    and a 16 oz glass of ice tea.

    I also drank my 2 quarts of water and I feel great. I actually felt
    full after each of my meals and that somewhat surprised me. But, I
    feel that I accomplished a great deal today by starting the diet. I
    had made sure that I had plenty of the foods that I would need
    beforehand so that it made it easier. But I will tell you people that
    I have never had to pee so darn much in my life. My husband and I
    also went for a walk and we walked for about 1 3/4 miles. I know it
    isn't very much but it is a start. Right?

    You need to check your carbs though because induction says we are not
    supposed to consume more than 20 carbs per day

    Note also that most of those 20 should come from leafy veggies.
    There's some thought that maybe the 20g used to include fiber (fiber
    doesn't count) and recently that 20g was allowed to include sugar
    alcohols (you shouldn't). IMHO half your carbs (10g) should come from
    fibrous veggies, and the other half used for stuff like cheese, eggs,
    salad dressings, and other minor sources of carbs. 10g of carbs is a
    LOT for induction-level veggies.

    for the 2 weeks or however long one does induction.

    IMHO again, "Induction" is 2 weeks, period. Induction is about
    *starting* the diet, not *doing* the diet. It's about switching your
    metabolism and getting into the new "mode". Once you're in the new
    mode, it has served its purpose.

    Induction to me means: Limit foods to those on the list, carbs fixed
    at 20g/day, and no other restrictions (er, ok the cheese limit).
    After that, you always switch to Ongoing Weight Loss - although you
    can stay at 20g/day if you wish (although it's better to find your
    CCLL, because that may avoid future stalls). OWL differs from
    Induction in that you are no longer limited in the *types* of foods
    you eat (just the total carbs), but you are now limiting *quantities*
    to only what you need to satisfy hunger.

    Most people who say they're on an extended Induction are really doing
    OWL at Induction levels without realizing it.

    if you eat 20 or less carbs but with an expanded food list (not just
    induction foods) then you're really doing owl at induction levels.
