Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 20061st week done
1 week on induction and i lost 3 lbs. I will admit that I haven't been counting carb grams and had too many hot dogs and burgers on saturday at a BBQ. I also had 1 pigout where i ate a pint of heavy whipping cream whipped with dutched cocoa and splenda (PMS kicked in) typical menu: breakfast: 2 hardboiled eggs lunch: 1/8th lb oven gold turkey breast 1/8th lb american cheese (that's about 4 slices of each) or leftovers from dinner snack 2-3 tablespoons creamcheese w/fresh scallions pork rinds dinner roast chicken greenbeans or salad w/oil & vinegar I find that i have no patience for counting or writing down what i eat. I used to do both diligently and I know the benfits but I am too (insert 500 excuses here) to keep up with it LOL I am proud of myself for getting away from the scale a bit, i want to weigh in weekly not obsess daily. I haven't had breakfast yet because it's ~crazy morning~ so i am making a grilled chicken caesar salad for a late lunch/early breakfast. JoAnna 155/152/125 >1 week on induction and i lost 3 lbs.

I have been on low carb for about a week and have lost 3 lbs also. I too am staying away from obsessing about every carb gram I shoot for 30 grams per day - give or take a few. I am not calling it induction because I am not staying away from nuts, which are my main snack food (I love peanuts). Anyway good job! and good luck! -Phil 230/227/170 What? You didn't put cream cheese and peanut butter in the whipped cream??? We had a recipe posted in here one time years ago for something like that. Maybe you can Google it under "Orgasm in a Bowl or something like that. Someone in here who's had an "Orgasm" before may remember it ROFL!! Hotdogs are so nasty girl friend! ICK!!!! Stay away from the sodium and nitrates. You must have woke up feeling like a poisoned pup with all the salt eh???? Laureen > 1 week on induction and i lost 3 lbs.

Your mess sounds like kid food. And carbier. I actually prefer it to be Marscapone with some cream, dutched cocoa and bit of splenda but I had no Marscapone. > Hotdogs are so nasty girl friend!

Nathans, Boars Head or Sabrett (Hebrew National sometimes) All beef :o) It's not something I would eat regularl but at a BBQ or at Nathan's or Ben's on very rare occasions. I think I had 2 hot dogs and 2 cheeseburgers, no buns, 2 pickle halves and my MIL's version of saurkraut that is fried with onions. I also had a little italian sausage and lots of the tossed salad that i brought but I relaly overate LOL >> 1 week on induction and i lost 3 lbs. I will admit that I haven't been >> counting carb grams and had too many hot dogs and burgers on saturday at [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >> JoAnna >> 155/152/125 Hi -- this is my second go at Atkins style low carb. After my last child I weaned at 2y and started Atkins to get off the extra weight. I was very organised and wrote everything down from day to day, with all my menus ( I have heaps of recipes if anyones interested ) and in total lost about 15 kg. Stayed around goal weight of 52 53 kg for about 12m and then started to slide with my carb counts. I found that this time I have been back on induction ( although including nuts ! ) for nearly a week and dont really know if I have moved any weight. Im not obsessing with menus this time as I did Atkins for so long I just know how I should be eating so Im not necessarily staying under 20 g of carbs a day either. May check ketosis, but I think that my metabolism has changed since I first started yeas ago, and that my tolerance for how many, and how less carbs I eat may have changed. Keep up the good work, but remember that if you measure yourself more often than weighing yourself, then you wil get a better idea of how you are loosing. > > What?

That just depends.... yeah I know it's not really induction !!! -- I suppose that Im not striving for induction like I did in the first place. I have about 8kg to move and I probably should obsess ... a little. Ihave been following the amounts of carbs I intake, and stay around 20 to 25 / day, and have done on and off for quite a while. So...... my body has adapted to this, and I find that I really have to drop my limit to nearly 5 before I start to loose again. I think that my mistake has been to include Low carb, Low Gi foods into my menus for the last 6 months and on occasion to eat a few items containing sugar. Being a naturopath I eat very healthy anyway, but I have slow metabolism, and low thyroid Things will pick up -- speed up, just have to re-adjust. > yeah I know it's not really induction !!! -- I suppose that Im not > striving for induction like I did in the first place. I have about 8kg [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > my menus for the last 6 months and on occasion to eat a few items > containing sugar. Isn't Low carb autmatically low GI? I think what you mean is foods that do have more carbs, but are supposed to be low GI, either naturally or through the use of sugar alcohols, etc. > Being a naturopath I eat very healthy anyway, but I have slow > metabolism, and low thyroid > Things will pick up -- speed up, just have to re-adjust. So what's your take on low thyroid and low carb. Does it help or hinder. I have low thyroid output, but would prefer to treat with diet and reduce thyroxine. Any tips? > Being a naturopath I eat very healthy anyway, but I have slow > metabolism, and low thyroid > Things will pick up -- speed up, just have to re-adjust. > So what's your take on low thyroid and low carb. T3 output is driven by the leptin level. Leptin level is driven by amount of stored fat plus by the highest carb intake in the last few weeks. Also there are studies that show that T3 output drops starting about 2 weeks into a VLCH diet. Very Low CarboHydrate seems to be 20 grams per dat in these studes so they mean extending Induction.l While there's more to thyroid status than T3, what the above means is folks with established Induction should ignore any advice that Induction can be extended beyond day 15. > Does it help or hinder. Going back to the idea that there's more to thyriod status than T3, it isn't as bad as it looks if you only test T3. Apparently T4 isn't reduced. > I have low thyroid output, but would prefer to treat with diet and > reduce thyroxine. Any tips? Have as much carbs as your plan allows. On Atkins that means moving up to fall out of ketosis, then hanging out at the highest level that keeps you in ketosis. Alternately, since the timing window is two weeks, one day every two weeks on a low fat reversal with very high carbs but low fat to match will serve to reset your leptin and therefore pop your T3 back up. Flavorwise, I like Indian vegitarian style meals for low-fat/high-carb. The problem is learning which carby foods you can and can't have to trigger binges. So this cycling method ends up just as effective but more risk and more work than the "just barely in ketosis" method. > T3 output is driven by the leptin level. Cites, please?

Very Low > CarboHydrate seems to be 20 grams per dat in these studes > so they mean extending Induction.l Under 50 grams of carbs per day or under 800 calories per day will rapdily drop T3 levels. There is no two week delay for many folks, particularly if T3 is already on the borderline. Susan > Under 50 grams of carbs per day or under 800 calories per day will rapdily > drop T3 levels. Only if you never exercise. So what's your take on low thyroid and low carb. Does it help or hinder. I have low thyroid output, but would prefer to treat with diet and reduce thyroxine.
