Re: lemon?

float a thin slice of lemon in your water. Some others do the same with cucumber or mint.

Re: lemon?

lets see i usually eat turkey bacon and eggs for breakfast, maybe some tiplia fish cooked with butter and parm cheese with a romaine salad with oil and vinegar and parm cheese ,for dinner maybe a steak or something just given you a rough idea i probably do about well no more than 10 carbs a day.

Re: lemon?

Both of you are not eating enough carbohydrates in the form of vegetables.

You need to be eating a minimum of 3 cups of vegetables a day. I would encourage you to only eat one of those cups in lettuce. Make the other cup of salad veggies some other type of veggie like cucumber, mushrooms, bok choy, celery, radish, jicama, etc. and another full cup of other vegetables that are higher carbohydrate.

THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. You NEED these vegetables!

Read this thread http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ead.php?t=6781 that tells you what you can eat on Atkins Induction.

You guys really need to get the book and read it. If you truly want to be successful, you need to read the book. Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution version 2002.

Re: lemon?

Yes Liza, Eat one cup lettuce, one cup cucumbers (since that's what you like) and one cup of veggies from this list:
Other Vegetables
You can have one cup per day of these veggies if salad does not exceed two cups. The following vegetables are slightly higher in carbohydrate content than the salad vegetables:

artichoke
celery root
pumpkin
artichoke hearts
rhubarb
asparagus
chard
sauerkraut
bamboo shoots
collard greens
scallions
dandelion
snow peas
bean sprouts
dandelion greens
spaghetti squash
beet greens
eggplant
spinach
broccoli
hearts of palm
string or wax beans
broccoli rabe
kale
summer squash
brussels
kohlrabi
tomato
bean sprouts
leeks
turnips
cabbage
okra
water chestnuts
cauliflower
onion
zucchini
If a vegetable, such as spinach or tomato, cooks down significantly, it must be measured raw so as not to underestimate its carb count.
