Back on induction- day 3!

Well it’s day three and I do think it’s getting easier. The scales today (I am cheekily weighing myself inbetween our weekly weigh-ins) reveal a 1lb weight loss which I’m pretty happy with, though obviously wish it was more!

I am still having some carb cravings and am particularly wondering how to negotiate the weekend as I’m going to a big family meal but have decided that I am going to try and keep to the diet during the meal… I’ll let you know how that goes, but I am pretty determined and also I had promised to help out with the food prep so can hopefully just prepare myself some low carb things that I really like.

My saviour yesterday was some low carb mini frittatas that I found in Marks and Spencers which really saved the day when I was on my way home from work and found them in the garage. They only have 5g of carbs in them each and taste really good so I had one of those and a small piece of snack sized cheese which they also sell and that lasted me until I got home. They’re pretty pricey though so I was a bit cross with myself that I hadn’t just made one at home which I easily could’ve done, never mind!

Meal	What I ate	Carbs	Total carbs
Breakfast	Three quorn sausages and two fried eggs from the work cafeteria	15.9g	15.9g
Snack	One chocolate crisp bar	1.8g	17.7g
Lunch	Chargrilled veg salad	3g	20.7g
Snack	One Atkins chocolate crisp bar	1.8g	22.5g
Evening meal	Goats cheese and mushroom frittata	5g	27.5g

So I managed it and wasn’t really hungry very much apart from immediately before the little frittata, though I did check this morning and the ketostix do indicate that I’m not yet in ketosis which is disappointing… hopefully tomorrow. In any case I’ll keep you posted!
