On Atkins again

[grannyf0]

G'day all,
I am in Australia & started Atkins (again) on Saturday. I am type 11 diabetic & since I have been off Atkins my BSL has gradually crept up again. I lost 20 kilos (44lbs) when I was on it last time & was able to go off my meds (metformin). My Dr told me to keep it up but I guess I fell by the wayside. I have been feeling like s#!t lately & my BSL have been high so I have decided that it is time I took charge of my life & do the right thing again. As we all know it is a bit of a struggle but now that I am getting back into Atkins I realise that it is not all that hard. I really do miss fruit & bread rolls though!!! Hopefully it will all be well worth the effort. I look forward to talking to my new Atkins friends on a regular basis.
Cheers Fran

Re: On Atkins again

welcome back to Atkins and to ADBB.
As you know from doing Atkins in the past you can have the fruits again as a part of your OWL and beyond program of Atkins just not on induction.

We even have induction rollz you cna sub for bread so check out the recipe section of the board for any help you need.

HAppy low carbing.

Re: On Atkins again

Thanks 2B4Msize, I have never tried making the rolls but I will give them a go!! I think I read somewhere in the book to substitute onion powder for the sugar is that correct?

Re: On Atkins again

LOL LOL onion powder was to make them savory tasting. there is no sugar nor flour in the revolution rollz. check out out induction board stickies fro the recipe I'm sure Not2late stickied them. We also have many flax meal recipes for breads that are sugarfree and flour free.
