This is my daily weight chart since beginning the Natural Hormonal Enhancement Diet.

In all measurements, this past week of inductance has been very good to me. Today, the inductance period ends.

On carb-load days, I am permitted up to 30 carbs before my carb-load meal. The carb-load meal has unlimited carbs, of course, but there are some restrictions/guidelines:

70% of your carbs should come from starch, 30% from sugar.
Protein <20g.
Fat < 20g.

That is quite a balancing act. The first item is not too difficult, although it eliminates some things I love (pizza?). But the next two items are VERY problematic. Most desserts would blow the fat quotient, most meat sauces would blow the protein limit, and cheese would blow both.

See below what I did. Bear in mind, I do not count calories, g of protein, g of fat - none of that. In inductance, I counted all g of active (net) carbs consumed. From today onward, the carbs from green leafy vegetables, celery, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, radishes, mushrooms and spinach don't count towards my daily limit.

Also note that on carb load days, there is no daily carb total at all.
