So, I could use a little feedback (I'm only on week two of Induction and want to make sure I do this right). Dinner out tonight at Chipotle and this is what I THINK is right or the best option:
Chicken breast, Fajita Veggies, Cheese, Tomato Salsa, and lots of lettuce, perhaps guacamole on the side. = 13ish Net carbs (with Guac) or about 10 without guac.
No Rice
No Beans
No Sour Cream
Anyone else venture into Chipotle while doing Induction?
Thanks!

hmm only your second week... think it's too late to convince you that atkins utilizes arbitrary dietary restrictions that are not necessary for weightloss.
calories in v calories out is what governs weight control.

The Battle of the Diets: Is Anyone Winning (At Losing?) Please watch this on youtube, outcome of several research studies from Stanford University. Far from arbitrary dietary restictions, there is more than enough research based evidence to prove that low carb is the way to go!!

If the entire salad keeps you under the 20 net carb limit for the day then I don't see why not.

interesting video but does not seem to support your enthusiastic claim and it is way more nuanced, not considering that despite some interesting considerations the samples sizes are very small.
ALL the major studies that have looked into macro impact on weight loss with a large enough sample and a non biased design (ie not run by atkins and Co,) have shown no significant impact of macronutrients on weight loss long term. Calorie deficit is by far the most important element to achieve sustainable weight loss, and that is without considering the dubious long term health effects of very high protein diets on kidneys, cancer risk and other health issues.
There is probably a small number of people for whom some diet approaches work better than other because of extreme hormonal profiles, but it does not seem to be as common as some people believe

You lost what?!
Ha ha ha, I can't wait to weigh in at the end of the month and see where I am. I imagine I'll be somewhere close to a sperm whale's brain.

Swollen ankles???
Yes I get this. The main reasons tend to be sodium intake, lack of water, and hormones. I see from your food log that most days you are over 3000 and somethimes up to 5000mg in sodium. "They" ...

Have you thought of joining an Atkins challenge? You can get as much or as little support there as you want to have. :)

How often do you weigh yourself? I guess the longer that you wait between weighs would be much more exciting. yay!
