I can't do that and lose, either. I am *just* learning that it's okay to feel hungry, that I'm not gonna die!<br /><br />Loved reading your experience, it was the real deal.Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-63920930949195869702011-05-08T07:08:14.996-05:002011-05-08T07:08:14.996-05:00Congratulations on two years of healthy living!

Even learning to eat meals rather than keep grazing all day long. I wasn't even on low carb then. Just off sugar and trying to not eat every 5 minutes. Anyway, great to read about your experiences. There is so much to learn from you.

You did it, and I know from reading your blog that it's been worth it! You are an inspiration.E.

I love my blog and especially love those of you who keep me company along the way. I love reading your own journeys and get so much inspiration from you Anne. You are a superstar in my eyes ... struggles and all. You always overcome and share to make it easier for the rest of us.~Octhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424560774343634505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-27188549739076555892011-05-07T20:04:59.696-05:002011-05-07T20:04:59.696-05:00Yep, somehow with me watching my carbs on this sec...Yep, somehow with me watching my carbs on this second two week stretch, I believe I have achieved a certain amount of ketosis. But, as the Princess mentioned above...I am not gonna stress if I have an over 25 carb day, and even go to 50 carbs. Not really an induction, more like a stumble for ingredients and meat and low carb vegs are great fillers. It is bland, somewhat...the spice advice you gave some posts back helped. The store bought stuff is full of sodium. And I like hot spices, too and my sriracha is way too salty. Can't wait so see if my jalapenos grow in the garden.Bluezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571236569981685638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-15108737604308691922011-05-07T19:42:40.593-05:002011-05-07T19:42:40.593-05:00So many people forget about the *change* part of l...So many people forget about the *change* part of lifestyle change.<br />You can't keep eating what you've always eaten and expect to get a different body. Maybe temporarily if your willpower holds out that long.<br /><br />I will bear down and remember that Induction is temporary and that the rewards are great if I stick with it. I can't wait to get to the other side!<br />I, too, have to greatly reduce my carbs to get anywhere close to burning my fat. After feeling like absolute crap, meaning very tired, for a couple of weeks, today was finally a bit better.<br /><br />I can't believe 2 years have flown by already!Brightceterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315996303259692721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-9129156546334180372011-05-07T19:12:35.691-05:002011-05-07T19:12:35.691-05:00Interesting.

I like what you write about observing yourself...that is very helpful for me, too, to detach from the process a bit, like sending my inner self to *contemplation corner*. The observing also helps, I think, with detaching from the outcome and from the fear. Funny how hunger and fear can link up so closely in my mind. <br /><br />Also, I watch myself make problems out of *thin* air (pardon), as if my ego wants a fancy task...something to SOLVE. Wow. Hope I'm not the only strange observer here. :)hopefulandfreehttp://hopefulandfree.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892013098261033589.post-78636861796604848202011-05-07T18:11:01.510-05:002011-05-07T18:11:01.510-05:00I'm not so "lucky" My metabolism req...I'm not so "lucky" My metabolism required me to go way back....<br />like 20 g /carbs a day....<br />100 for me would be a party!<br /><br />And the second part - well said, PD!<br />Bootcamp is a great analogy.<br />I wonder if I would have gone through Induction on my own...<br />if not forced to change my diet because of the snow storm....<br />I'd like to say "yes" but....

Portions, types of foods, etc.<br /><br />For me, I didn't do induction or aimed for ketosis, but I did begin lowering and lowering and lowering MORE the amount of carbs/starches. From 220+ carbs a day to under 100 ideally. I feel way better and appetite lowered and lowered as the months went by. Now, I miraculously start getting full when I'm only done with aout 1/4 to 1/3 of my meal. It's not the crazy, "Oh, I finished my meal and I want MORE MORE MORE." I actually feel satiety on normal portions. Amazing.<br /><br />But it is like going through some sort of orientation to a new sisterhood/brotherhood. A monastery or nunnery or bootcamp or something where you MUST have new habits and the transition feels odd and hard and requires discipline. Then...it becomes more natural and normal and satisfying. :)<br /><br />Here's to change, baby!Princess Dieterhttp://happyweightafter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
