Thanks, RhondaRoo.  I appreciate all your suggestions.  They all make since and I will implement them starting today. 

I do sooooo much better if I pre-plan, and I must say that I love, love, love, love SparkPeople. (Did I mention that I love that site?!) I love to preplan the day, packing it into a lunch box (minus dessert) and there goes my day. So helps me cut out mindless eating, and is my first defense against binge / emotion eating. I also love that it can get specific on nutrients / vitamins; and I can supplement in specific areas if needed. I love that it not only gives calories, it gives percents I love how I can print it off and tape it to the front of the fridge; so if I eat off plan, I can write and see how it will effect totals before passing by way of the lips to the hips. I love how I can copy and paste without having to retype it all, sans the fiber to come up with net. (Induction for me is the NET Carbs under 20). Ok, enough of that, good golly Miss Molly, they should hire me as a paid spokesperson--lol


Yesterday I entered the arena of pink pee stick. My goal is to get visit the land of purple for a week, then up carbs to fall out of ketosis. Once I know the top of my carb range to maintain, I'll drop back down until I get to 120 lbs.

Anywho, I am beginning to feel better, and energy is coming back up. I was hungry lots yesterday, but I think that is part of the process; plus I had a lot of soft proteins and extra sauces. That, for me, can make just about anything a slider food. lol. You live, you learn. So with more energy, I guess I'll need to get on it with consistent exercise. Hold me accountable here, guys and gals.

So, with that in mind, I have incorporated more dense food ie chicken since it stays the longest with me, into today to see if it will help.

replace your more "slidery" foods with denser stuffs. Though I love protein shakes and bars--they don't stay in the tummy very long. Maybe half them, like 1/2 protein shake follow with hard boiled egg. Salads also are a slider for me, especially with dressing. Here, maybe have the salad dressing, but add one to two oz dense protein like chicken--something that will stay in tummy longer.

Your food choices look great--it may just be a function of pairing 'em up to stay in pouch, tiny tummy better.
