In many ways Atkins.com has made the purchase of the book a little less
necessary. It also includes meals, snacks, you name it. Of course, this group has a wealth of articles, many concerning the same questions asked every other day, if you will just search :-) "Anthony" wrote in message ... "cecilia" wrote in message om...

You can read about the induction list foods at atkins.com, but you asked so I'll tell you what I ate the first 2 weeks. I'm 1 month into this and I use http://fitday.com so I just went bakc and looked. Breakfast: -eggs cooked in butter -bacon -ham -leftovers from night before (hamburger, chicken, eggplant) -cream cheese -tuna salad -egg salad Lunch: --any from above, or -pepperoni and cheese microwaved with dash of salsa -salad with meat or cheese and Newman's vinegar & olive oil dressing -broccoli and butter -deviled eggs -fried cabbage and bacon with olive oil and tiny bit of onion Supper: --any from above or -pork steak -beef boneless ribs -pot roast -salmon -green beans -sauerkraut -beef hotdogs Snacks: celery and cream cheese Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (made with cream, water, & sour cream) cauliflower cream cheese, splenda, vanilla, cinnamon microwaved hot chocolate coffee with cream salami and mustard beef broth vegetable broth Crystal Light tea Diet Rite soda |

In article , ceciliacornejo88
@yahoo.com says... Hello, my name is cecilia.... I'm plan on starting atkins on wednesday... I can't wait to see and feel results... The problem that 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! -- Saffire 205/169/125 - 5'2.5" Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |

Since then the Atkins organisation has moved strongly towards marketing all sorts of food type products which, IMO, we would be well off without. The book didn't push this stuff, just gave the rationale for the diet and suggested real food to eat. Is the web site as detached, or has it become part of the marketing department, intent on pushing bars and shakes and quasi low-cal substitutes? |

Hi Cecilia!
The problem that 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?????? I found this site, with sample menus, very helpful when I first started: http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/menus/pastcj1.shtml Just skim over the menus, pick out meals that look good to you. It gave me some great ideas. I still make the cheeseburger quiche from time to time. Delicious for breakfast, a third at a time is 5 carbs and very filling. Piedlourde |

There are product placements, but almost without fail outside the borders of
any articles, etc. Almost all of the recipes and informational articles/sections do not contain references to specific products, so I think it's not too bad. Some of the recipes as you move on in the phases start to suggest Atkins Bake Mix, etc, but we all know that other things can be substituted at this point. "Anthony" wrote in message ...
