new induction

[elke1007]

Hi,


After my post on the main board and the reactions I got , I am now very motivated to start atkins.
Tommorow will be my first day of induction , and I have been thinking about my menu for tomorrow.
For breakfast I was thinking about two hard boiled eggs and a slice of smoked salmon. Midmorning snack (if I need it) maybe a small piece of brie. For lunch I'm planning a salad with tuna and mayo. Afternoon snack will be home made meatballs. For dinner I'm not sure yet , I'd be happy to receive suggestions (I eat everything but chicory).

I also have two more questions : I read the new diet revolution version 1992 and version 2002. In the 2002 version a lot more veggies count as salad veggies. For example in the 1992 version peppers are extra veggies , in the 2002 version peppers are salad veggies. Which book is more correct? I know the recent book were written by atkins inc , instead of the doctor. But he does state in his 1992 book that salad veggies should be those with a carb count of less that 10% and peppers have about 6 or 7 %.
Could anyone clear this up for me maybe?
My second question is a bit easier , last week I bought an atkins cookbook with summer recipes , does anyone know this book and any suggestions from this one?

Thanks,
Elke

We follow the 2002 edition here. Dr. Atkins wrote the 2002 edition, Atkins For Life and the majority of Atkins Diabetes Revolution before his death. One of the biggest differences between the 1992 version and the 2002 version is how the carbs are counted. In the 1992 version total carbs were counted. In the 2002 edition, we count "net" carbs (total carbs - fiber - (sugar alcohols) = net carbs). Therefore in the 2002 version the "other veggies" are limited to 1 cup, whereas in the 1992 version, they were limited to 2/3 cup.

Re: new induction

I am new too there are some great recipes floating around here. One of my favoites is a salid with lettace and spinach leaves with half an avacado and some chicken breast with ranch dressing. The other day I added a tad of tabasco and it tasted kind of like hot wings!

I think you might need a few more veggies from what you posted. Good luck!!!!

Re: new induction

you know manita you can have real hot wings also if you make them yourself. i suggest using Franks hot sauce..yummy and the recipe on the bottle. it's what i plan to have for dinner today. i'm no pro still in induction myself, but i do know that good homemade hot wings are a go.

Re: new induction

Manita - your salad with chicken, avacado and ranch sounds great. I think I will try it. I am new to this lifestyle as well. What kind/brand of ranch dressing do you use? I am a bit confused about dressings for most have sugar.
