Just a few things
Along with what others have said about fruit and such, other reasons
for the two weeks of induction without such foods are to stabilize
and straighten out insulin and metabolic disorders and reduce
cravings for sweets.
Sugar is easier to burn for the body than stored fat. If you eat
sugar, it is immediately burned. If you eat complex carbs, they are
turned into sugar and then burned. Your body will burn the sugar
first and you will not get into lipolysis, thus, you will not lose
any weight. If there are 20 or less grams of carbs consumed in a day,
eventually your body is forced to burn fat.
I have found very expensive, non-nitrate bacon at a health food
store. I reluctantly bought it, but I have to tell you, it tastes
terrible. It tastes like side pork, all greasy and unsalted. It
doesn’t crisp up like regular bacon. Forget it! I will use regular
nitrate bacon, but only 1 or 2 times/month.
You can buy sausage patties with 0 carbs and 0 nitrates at a regular
grocery store (Jones brand). Also, Jennie-O makes a turkey sausage
link with less fat, but no nitrates and 0 carbs. Spicy and delicious!
I cook them up several packages at a time on weekends, and put 3 or 4
in a sandwich bag. I pop them in the microwave each work morning as
my eggs are cooking. Yum!
Congratulations to all of you who are sticking to it and losing
weight! This is really much easier than low-fat, high fiber.
