    Drat... I thought I was doing so well...

    .....until I looked at the ingredients on my FAVORITE salad dressing and found that nasty high fructose corn syrup toward the top of the ingredient list... grrrrrrr! Oh well, it's my third day and I haven't weighed but my jeans are telling me I've lost some weight. So I won't beat myself up, I'll just buy new salad dressing and continue on.

    I can tell I'm going to love Atkins!

    Re: Drat... I thought I was doing so well...

    I just found this recipe online today. I think making it at home would beat all the frustration of finding one that does work.

    I make this ranch dressing:
    • 1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1 1/2 tablespoon dried parmesan cheese
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried chives
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
    • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
    • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1/8 teaspoon salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
    And to "kick it up a notch" I put in a pinch of chipotle powder. MUCH healthier than the stuff in the stores which always have all these chemical additives, and often even though they say just "1 carb per tablespoon" have SUGAR as an ingredient!!

    I am not sure who posted it...so I apoligize to it's creator for not giving credit where credit it do.

      I'm on day 11 of induction and each day it seems like there is a new "surprise" in my food! Like yesterday I was halfway through a bag of pork rinds while traveling and looked at the ingredients which clearly stated brown sugar as an ingredient!! So we live and learn each day at a time...

      No matter what the nutrition label says....READ THE INGREDIENTS!

        So true. The other day I bought some mayo that looked carb friendly and when I got home I could taste something in there. When I checked the lable the third ingrediant was corn syrup. That stuff is in everything.

          That sounds really good and I'm going to make it this weekend. I've definitely noticed all the ingredients in the store bought dressings and I don't like eating all those chemicals.

          Thanks for the suggestion!

            It's only been 3 days and I've already turned into a true label reader!
