Hi Cecilia, welcome to the group!

i'm having is that I know I need to stay at 20carbs a day but I have
no idea what to eat... Does anyone want to share some of there
favorite meals or snacks?????? Thanks, also i'd like to say i'm so
glad there is a support group online... and to all of you doing so
well Keep up the good work....

During induction, I ALWAYS kept hard-boiled eggs in the fridge, ready to eat. I
didn't necessarily make meals of them, but they were there and ready if I opened
the fridge looking for a vague "something".

Then there's meat, fish and poultry. Try to have salad and some other veggies
that are included on the induction list. Google this group for "fauxtatoes",
which consists of mashed cauliflower and variations on cream cheese, cream,
garlic powder, butter and spices. During induction I see that I ate a lot of
pre-made salads at Trader Joe's -- I LOVE their smoked salmon salad. Later I
started making 4-6 servings of salad for the week, using a Tilia Foodsaver to
keep them fresh (that's harder to do with the bags, but after I bought some mason
jars & the lid sealer accessory, it worked out much better.

I made a HUGE pot of turkey vegetable soup that really hit the spot and was
always ready to pop into the microwave.

I've developed a liking for pork ribs, which I almost NEVER ate before going on
Atkins. Now I use Jenny's recipe for low-carb BBQ sauce and cook them in a
rectangular slow-cooker for about 4-5 hours -- DELICIOUS!

Bacon & eggs are always good, especially if you make an omelet or fritatta by
adding things such as cheese, bell pepper, a little bit of onion (have to watch
onions on induction), etc.

Watch here for recipes and links to recipes -- you can get a GREAT deal of info
and inspiration that way.

I also like Foster Farms Hot Wings that I buy at Costco in a BIG bag. They have
a little cornstarch in them, I think, but they are only about .25 carbs per wing.

Keep reading here for inspriation and support -- it's been INVALUABLE to me!
