Induction
The first stage, 'induction', lasts for two weeks to ensure that you are properly in ketosis and that your body has 'switched gear' to its alternative source of energy. This is the most carbohydrate-restricted stage (no more than 15 - 20 g carbohydrate per day). This level allows you a daily amount of around 120 g of salad vegetables and 130g of cooked low carb vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, courgettes, green beans etc, plus unsweetened soya milk in weak tea/coffee if you wish.
The rest of your menu is made up of meat, fish, shellfish or poultry and fats (which are completely unrestricted as they are carbohydrate free) and eggs and hard cheeses (which do contain a small amount of carbohydrate, so you need to use these in moderation for this initial stage).
You eat until you're satisfied, and should never be hungry. It is also important to drink a large amount of water, as explained earlier. There is no rule on when to eat, except that you should avoid skipping meals, breakfast in particular.
Induction phase - allowed foods
High protein, carbohydrate free foods
All meats, fish, seafood such as prawns, poultry
Eat as much as you like

hi jim
are we talking about the big coffee mugs (not cups), is that what you use?, and i know this may sound silly but do you cut your veg first before you fill your cup with them i.e. because if you filled a mug with uncut mushrooms you are getting less than you would in weight than if they were sliced and then added to the cup/mug....sorry to be a pain asking questions...it just confuses me some....thanks
