does this food sound okay to you?

i found a recipe book of different ways to cook shrimp, and was wondering if this was atkins-okay, especially for induction.
it was shrimp wrapped in bacon, stuffed with cheese and jalapeno peppers... are these okay?

thanks!

hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm YES it is !!!!
make sure you count the carbs of the cheese and the pepper though.

[atkinsisgood05]

how much cheese is okay?
for example, how many sticks of string cheese will be okay for one day's worth of carbs?

Bacon wrapped shrimp. That sounds divine.

don't have the book, sorry...
i'm new to this, just started today.
but the thing is i don't know how much physically 2 to 3 ouncheso f cheese is...

so anyone have a general estimate of how much 2 to 3 ounces is?
in terms of string cheese for example.

do you have the package...it will tell you how much one string cheese is...I believe it is one ounce but I can't say for sure...but pick up the book...you can get it fairly cheap thru ebay.

Yah, it is quite important to get the book, it's the best investment on your weightloss you ever did, it is really essential that you understand why you have to eat the way you are going to and to look up things like this.
Also get yourself a scale.
