Hi Lisa & welcome to a healthy way of life!!!
I am new to this form as well & am starting week 2 if Adkins Induction diet. BUT I can share what I have learned!
I keep hard boiled egg in the frig in the event I need a snack, also cream cheese & celery sticks are a good snack too very low carbs.
3 small celery sticks filled with cream cheese:
Carbs: 4.5 - Protein: 4.4 - Fat: 16.8 - Fiber: 1.7 - Calories: 181
3.9 x 1 Ounce (oz) Celery, raw
1.7 x 1 Ounce (oz) Cheese, cream
I weighed the celery before & after filling to get an a curate count!
Carrots are not good during induction because of their glycemic index!
No fruit for awhile!
I know coffee is allowed on induction but I think wine is not.
If you use artificial sweetners only use 3 packs a day & only use Splenda all the others are a no no.
Count your carbs & keep them under 20! VERY important!!!
You also want to get more fat than protein so bacon & very marbled red meat are great! I have enjoyed the taste of bacon & eggs so much I have eaten them for lunch & dinner some days lol!
Having a food scale helps take the guess work out of things! I got a small one at Wallyworld for $14.95! Game changer!
Tracking what you eat on the "My Plan" on this forum is a great way to see what you are eating daily! & a good way not to over do the carbs! Plus you can click & have that days food go into a journal so others can see & help you if need be!
If you have not read Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution book you should! VERY informative! You can download an ebook for under $7!
Eating any package foods that say "low carbs" is not a good idea because they always have hidden carbs, use artificial sweetners not allowed on Adkins & even artificial sweetners gives your brain a sweet taste that keeps those cravings coming back!
