[nobabyfatexcuses]

I posted earlier that I was so frustrated after following the sample meal plan for atkins, but was wrong to do so because of the low carb tortillas and stuff.....now Im going through the recipes only through those for phase one....and it seems some are appropriate and some aren't!! some call for soy flour.....isnt that a no for this phase??

Im SOOOO confused anymore....

Re: now..SO confused!

Are you using the recipes from the book? They suck. Sorry, they do.

They are written/created by a doctor and/or a company. Find some low carb recipes created by a chef or a cook! They'll be much better. Check out Linda's Low Carb. This link will point you directly to her Induction menu page with the recipes.

Definitely a place to start. Always, always check the ingredients though against the induction acceptible food list though.

Re: now..SO confused!

thank you very much for that website!

this is the one I was using....
http://www.atkins.com/recipes/recipe...gory=phase_one
and I hunted for most of the ingredients in some of thse...and got excited over "thinking" Id be able to have some of those listed.....but I guess not.

now I need to figure out how to tell my husband that the big tub of low carb protien shake mix I had him search 4 different stores for...I cant use

You can use it in a few weeks. Hold on to it. If it's Whey protein (not soy) you can have it in just a few weeks during the Ongoing weight loss phase when you add dairy products back in. (AND I've got a fabulous and healthy shake recipe for you when you get there)

The Atkins site is by the Atkins Nutritionals company. Note: company. Out to sell you their products. Nuff said.
