Need food ideas for induction!
 

Please help...I am on my second day and feel horrible. Nagging headache and VERY tired. I have eaten mostly meat and feel like if I have anymore I will toss my cookies. (cookies, I wish:)) Does anyone have any advice for meals and especially snacks? Thanks for your help!

why are you eating mostly meat?

you will feel like crap for a while. It is your body detoxing.

Make sure you drink your water!!! Water helps to flush all that stuff out. Take something for the headache....in about 3 days you should be good.

Thanks Kim & Robin!! I'll check these out!

Make A nice pot of lc soup using all the lc veggies u can find in the links that Robin W and Jersey girl gave u. Judy

i'm in the same boat as you.....sick to death of meat and cheese but not a big fan of veggies so i kinda have to force myself to eat those......

I'm an induction re-starter, so I know where you are coming from. One of things I had tonight was mashed cauliflower, sour cream, cheese, and butter. Just microwave the cauliflower until soft, mash with a masher, and add the rest of the ingredients, with salt and pepper to taste. I plan to use it in place of mashed potatoes.

Take care,
Julie

my fave thing during induction is taco salad! Hamburger meat tossed on lettuce with cheese on top.
