is tofu allowed?

Hi everyone! Im new here and i just started induction 3 days ago. So far im doing great, even though im feeling a little dizzy and im always thirsty. So my question is that as i am a former vegetarian, although now i eat chicken and turkey, i still need to eat some meat substitutions. Is tofu allowed on the induction phase?

Re: is tofu allowed?

we have many vegetarioans and if you look in the FAQ there is a topic abot doing Atkins as a vegetarian with info from Dr Atkins medical center back before his death about the way he was treating vegetarians on his program.

Welcome to ADBB and thr thirst is a good thing keep drinking that is one of the physical signs you are getting into ketosis and the natural diuretic effects of this plan are working!

Happy low carbing

Tofu is the "soy cheese" referred to in the Cheese Footnote. The 1992 edition of DANDR supports this as well as Dr. Atkins New Carbohydrate Gram Counter.
