I have just finished reading the introduction phase of the Adkins diet. I am putting my husband on this (change of lifestyle) to lose about 50lbs.
But I do have a few questions concerning this.......

Is salad unlimited?
What snacks are good to eat?

Please help I am just starting out and need some advice.
Thanks in advance

Salad should be limited. If you go to the pages(I don't have my book with me so I can't tell you what pages, but it's in the Induction chapter)that give the info on veggies, it will specify how much you can have. During Induction salads are normally limited to 1 cup loosely packed. Then you can add in other salad veggies as listed in the book as well. It's not a lot to begin with.

For snacks, I have always kept protein on hand during Induction. Keep hard boiled eggs on hand and either have them plain or make up egg salad with mayo and mustard. Or I would make up hamburgers or ground turkey burgers ahead of time and have one when I felt hungry. Induction is the toughest, but it's worth hanging in there!

Thanks for the response. What other veggies are good to eat during induction?? Is it rule of thumb to eat until your full?

To be exact:

3 cups of salad a day

OR

2 cups of salad and 2/3 cups of cooked veggies.

In the induction table is a list of legal salad fixins and veggies.

Thanks, I guess I need to go back and look at my book!!!
Thanks for all the help, Im sure I will need much more!
