induction help please!

[obscuraventura]

hello, this is my second time on atkins, the first time was very haphazard, i hadn't even read the book but i managed to lose 4 stone in 5 months!

unfortunately ive put three of those stone back on so i'm back on track!

however, this time i read the book and i'm fairly confused. within the first three days i'd lost 4lbs, which was amazing, but since finishing the book i'm starting to doubt that i'm eating the right things and i really don't want to let myself down!

if anyone could give me any advice on what's right to eat then i'd be very grateful! i've posted what i ate today below, which is more than i usually eat on atkins, but fairly typical stuff. please let me know if i'm going in the right direction!!

breakfast:
3 eggs, scrambled with butter and milk

lunch:
4 hertz frankfurters with mayonnaise

dinner:
large sirloin steak with green beens and broccoli and butter

snack:
2 mini babybels
several spoonfuls of homemade egg mayonnaise

have had loads of water etc.

thanks!

No milk, switch to heavy cream
Check those franks, very often they have added sugar.
Make sure you get a full two cups of Green beans and broccoli, Also you don't have to but you might want to spread those veggies out over the day
Other than that, its looks good.

thank you for that!
i checked the frankfurters, they have 0.7g of carbs each, so think thats ok!

Hey Obsuraventura, make sure the frankfurters they do not have any additional sugars.. Sugars mascared as carbs..like dextrose, maltose, and such...they use them as conservatives.. plus starch!! Oh, and read the induction section at the book

Re: induction help please!

Check the ingredients, not just the carbs.

One small comment about your veggies... There are two lists of veggies allowed on induction -- a salad veggies list and a "other veggies" list. By the book, you should be eating about two cups of veggies from the first list and about a cup from the second one. Right now, you are only eating veggies from the second list.

The lists are in the book, but also here:
