        congrats on your weight loss so far, I've just finished my first week too (a re-start), I had some slips, but overall, I'm feeling good. Good luck on your second week.

          I tried lots of new recipes when I was doing induction. This is a great website with induction friendly recipes. I especially liked the chicken/sausage casserole

          http://users3.ev1.net/~fontlady/

          Off the top of my head...

          pork chops - a whole batch made ahead for easy carting and snacking
          of course the mock danish - with a dab of unusual flavorings, like cherry
          salmon patties made with 2 eggs and a can of salmon
          tuna fish patties made with 2 eggs and a can of tuna
          cut up jicama for snacking on front of the tv
          pepperoni slices nuked with a mozerrella cheese stick on top
          scallops grilled with butter, garlic, lemon, and bacon
          oyster stew
          hamburgers grilled with mushrooms and a slice of swiss
          raw veggies - i liked turnips, green peppers, radishes, cabbage
          boiled eggs and bacon slices
          mini omelets baked in a muffin pan
          beef jerky
          meat balls
          cauliflower rice

          After induction I added spaghettic squash which is a fabulous substitute for pasta. In fact, I prefer it.

          Keep going. As you adjust to ketosis your cravings for other foods will fade and you will find yourself craving the Atkins staples.
