Nice john, good to hear! I did the induction period for over a month. It was rough and a few days I was a little dizzy (but enjoyed the buzz). I agree on the water, I drink over 96oz a day. The whole bacon thing is hype, the diet does not reccomend eating all the bacon you want. The media focuses on that too much. Like you said, I have a few slices with eggs adn I mostly eat turkey bacon. You need to eat a variety. The toughest part is that food gets boring. You know what I ate a lot of? Buffalo wings! Zero carbs and my favorite food. The hot sauce also increases your metabolism. Its all a balance. There is SO much stuff available now to support the diet.
FOr example today I ate
1. Sausage and cheese omlette
2. Lunch - low carb bread with Low carb peanut butter, salad
3. Dinner will be roasted chicken, string beans and for dessert low carb peanut butter cups!

16 more pounds to my goal
