Help! I'm stuck (Induction Advice)

[Butterfly09]

So I'm glad to say that I started not eating rice, sugars or bread in March and I haven't and it's hard to live in a household when these things are cooked/bought/ate everyday but I have to say I don't miss it! Anyways, my usual meal consists of salad (romain/ceaser dressing (no sugar 1carb) and proteins. I eat some string cheese low fat.. 1oz, 1c.. I throw in veggies like squash.. and other stuff nothing ever processed the point is that I've been keeping it -20 carbs but IF I do go over it's because of a veggie or something. I want to do induction I CAN do it.. believe me I never thought I could get this far. But I'm STUCK I'm bored can Anyone suggests snacks or something diff I can actually eat and manage making if anyone can throw some info my way I'd really appreciate it

I love to cook so I get creative with what things that I can have on Atkins. I find that I need variety in my meals otherwise I get bored with the same ol' same ol'.
Try an open face eggplant omelet with cheese or jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. I buy a stuffed salmon from WalMart fish market that is pretty good, but I have only been able to find it at one location. I make my own tarter sauce so I kick it up a few notches. I loveeeee cookbooks so i have invested in a few low carb cookbooks.
I know that it is hard to eat the way I am suppose to at times, especially with a teenage daughter who does not need to watch her weight...but I can remember I was like that at her age also...those were the skinny days. I also do not buy much of anything white to fix in my house, but I do fix my daughter her favorites, I just have to restrain myself.

So you're saying that you want to do sort of proper induction but you're a bit afraid of it?
It is only for 14 days and not very scary at all.

Here is a good webpage to look at
Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home

Also check out this thread with induction recipes.

A lot of variation is possible on induction.

Atkins is high fat, so ditch the low fat string cheese.

I don't snack much, because I don't really get hungry in-between meals due to ketosis. Here are some suggestions for snacks though:

Rolled up sandwich meat (no sugar or other illegal ingredients)
Celery with cream cheese
pork rinds
veggies & dip (salad dressing or mayo)
stuffed mushroom caps (I think the recipe in in the never-ending induction recipes thread)
different kinds of cheese (Havarti with jalepeno, etc) - max 4oz cheese/day
