Hi all!

I'm new to the low carb scene and I would like to know if there are any open diaries that I could look at so I can get an idea of what to eat during induction!

Thanks!!!

    Hi,

    I've been Low Carbing since mid May, before that I was just doing the slow low calorie method.

    I still have my good and bad days.... oh, and I'm not doing induction........ just keeping (or trying to keep) between 35 - 50 carbs.

    Feel free to check my diary. I think it helps to get meal ideas from other people.

    Cheers and good luck.

    I've been doing Atkins since about June 1, and I don't cheat. If you'd like to see my food diary, please feel free:

    I just wish that MFP naturally subtracted dietary fiber from carb counts.

    Eddie (and anyone else interested) have you seen this:
    http://cavemanketo.com/configuring-mfp/
    It's a blog post with directions on how to configure MFP to calculate net carbs by automatically subtracting fiber from carbohydrate. Also, it has a tutorial on how to change your settings for your macros to better reflect a low carb lifestyle.

    Maybe you already knew this so sorry if it is redundant! It was a huge help to me as I got used to the whole idea of net carbs.

    What a wonderful find! I did not know that, thank you for the information, I can't wait to apply it! No longer having to manually do the net carbs will be great!


    Thanks again!

    I've made my diaries public today too. Feel free to look at mine. i'm still in induction and haven't cheated any. But keep in mind that I am way below the 20 carbs per day because I'm trying to really kick into high gear on the weight loss. I did 20-25 carbs the first 3 days and dropped to an avearge of 7-10 after that.

    Today is the first day of my second induction week. I'm still holding fast at a 4lb weight loss, but 4lbs in a week is still awesome!!! Yippee!
