*Amendment* lately people have been commenting on how and what I was eating these first few months. In the beginning weeks, I was still very concerned about eating too much fat. I later learned that we do need fat in our diets, so I started changing the foods I was eating. So, you might notice that I was using Egg Beaters for breakfast and other low fat products. I still use the Miracle Whip Light, because I like it.
Week one
Induction : DAY 1 Sept 3
120 oz water
6 oz coffee - black This will be the hardest part for me,
as I love my coffee
Breakfast: 2 eggs with cheese
lunch: approx 5 oz
chicken breast with 2 tsp ranch dressing
snack: HB egg
salad: 2c salad
w/HB egg, 1/2 oz cheese 1T dressing
dinner: Approx 12 oz round steak
(If I calculated correctly, that should only be about 9 grams of carbs )
I found this really great dip for my steak. I take 1 T Light Miracle Whip, 1T sour cream, and 1.5t horseradish. (Not the creamy kind.) and just dunk the steak ever so lightly just to get a taste of the dip. Its really good and barely any carbs.
Induction Day 2: Sept 4
110 oz water
4 oz black coffee hard to get used to
09:30 2 eggs w/ bacon
15:00 5 oz round steak, HB egg
17:30 2 c salad w/ 1 T ranch dressing, 1.5 tsp sour cream
5 oz Eye of round steak
20:00 HB egg 2 cashews - shame shame.
approx carbs 8
Induction Day 3: Sept 5
10am 2 eggs w/ .25 cup 2% cheddar cheese, 2 oz round steak, 1 slice
bacon. >1 gm carb
14:30 8 oz beef stew meat w/ 1T each of Sour Cream and Ranch dip
2 gm carbs
16:00 1 slice of low fat cheese 1 carb
19:00 6 oz Broasted Chicken breast 3 cheese sticks
OPSSS no salad today. I was full, and it looks like only about 6-7 grams of carbs. And i decreased my water to roughly 60 - 70 oz of water, I'm not done yet.
I'm thinking that today I didn't get enough calories. I will have to calculate them later.

18:00 I didn't do well calculating my dinner. I had broasted
chicken, a breast and a leg, no skin on either.
Oh, One thing... I was making my early lunch/late breakfast and i was reading
the salad bag. It states that 1.5 cups = 85 grams
(weight) I noticed that 1.5 c salad couldn't fill a rabbit, so i
weighed it on a scale. I had roughly 3 c at 60g. How am I supposed
to figure that one out? Anyways, it will be listed
below:
(Wow, that works out nice, I should do all my meals in table form) YIKES!!
that's a lot of fat for a salad. I remember days when I didn't take in
that much in a day, much less one meal. ACK.. its all that cheese.
