Atkins People click here please
I am starting Atkins again tomorrow morning. I need any tips you have. I am going to do induction for two weeks - and see how much I can lose - then in two weeks I will decide if I am ready for Phase 2.
Anyone have any good breakfast or lunch ideas - other than eggs?
thanks, Scott

I am not an egg eater so my breakfasts are things like this:
dannon's carb smart yogurt (3 net carbs) two slices of american cheese quarter pound of ham serving of tuna salad
Lunch could be: piece of chicken hamburger tuna salad frankfurter left over something (steak, pork chop, roast beef, etc.)

Kellog's Fiber One has very few carbs, only problem is that you'd have to eat it dry. But it's sweetened with NutraSweet and it does not taste bad at all.
I don't eat eggs either. I found that the canned Atkins shakes were not bad.

Dry, why dry? You can drink half and Half and the low carb milk they have out too - I forgot what its called - but im not sure you can have that on Induction.
I figure I will have 3 eggs and american cheese for breakfast
2 wendys hamburger patties and a ceaser salad for lunch
some sort of meat and green veggie for dinner
no snacks......
Hard to find snacks other than celery for induction Any ideas on snacks? I always get in the mood for snacks at night Scott

Low carb milk? Now I've heard everything!
It didn't occur to me that you could put half and half on cereal, but I don't think I could stomach that.
When I was on induction I used to have those Pure De-Lite chocolate bars. They were really good. For a snack I'd have one with a cup of tea and maybe some peanuts.

For snacks, you can have things like cold cuts, sugar free jello, cheese cubes, cheese crisps (spread some cheese on a non-stick pan and melt over low heat. drain on a paper towel and let cool to a crisp), pork rinds/baco rinds.

Re: Atkins People click here please
you cant eat cold cuts unless they are nitrate free - same goes for bacon and sausage
Today I had 3 eggs with american cheese for breakfast
Tuna salad for lunch
cheese for a snack

I have eaten regular cold cuts, bacon & hot dogs and never noticed any problem with weight loss.
I think Trader Joes has nitrate free stuff, I have only been there once and I recall seeing it there.

According to the atkins book, you shouldn't eat nitrates because of carcinogens, not because they contain carbs.

I know that nitrates do not mean the food contains carbs - They say that Nitrates slow down weight loss or can cause weight loss to stall
I finished day one, and it went pretty well
For dinner I ended up having 3 hamburger patties from Wendys and a ceaser Salad.
Then 3 pieces of cheddar cheese for a snack
We are going food shopping today so I will have some different food to choose from. All I had in my frig is beer, soda, strawberry shortcake and cheese lol
Breakfast today is a cheese omelete.....Sald for lunch, and not sure about dinner yet.
Whats on your menus? Scott
