Hello :wave Welcome to ha
It is great you have an Atkins buddy close at hand to keep you motivated :joy :joy
Even though you have followed this WOE (way of eating) before try to make time to re-read your book to make sure you havent forgotten anything important - like drinking all your water or exercising. and if you have any questions just ask - you have hundreds of internet buddies here wanting to help.

Welcome. I want to make sure you are not breastfeeding because induction is not appropriate for breatfeeding mothers. If you are please try the maintenance phase of the diet until you are done.

No breastfeeding here My son is 9 months old on Friday I did Atkins when my son was about 7 months old and lost 11 lbs in 2 weeks...I decided to stop and then I needed to start again Thanks for your concern though

LUNCH

Today, I'm having some mixed greens with buffalo chicken strips (homemade).

I agree, that lunch can be a little tricky but I usually try to get my salad in at this time.

Good Luck Kristy!
I've found having food items such as veggies pre-cleaned/cut up helps a ton. Try grilling extra chicken breasts/fish/meat to use for lunches.
Make some crab or egg salad to keep handy as well as hard boiled eggs.
