    Okay Dont Yell Or Say Get The Book

    Because I'm Doing That Tonight...but This Is A Typical Day For Me On The Beach And I Was Wondering How Much Of It Has To Change....

    B--1/4 Cup Of Egg Beaters
    8 Oz Glass Of V8 Spicy
    2 Slices Of Cann Bacon

    S 1 0z Cheese Stick

    Lunch Salad With Steak Or Chicken Usually

    Snack....15 Almonds Or Cheese Stick

    Dinner Usually Steak/chicken/ Ground Turkey/ Or Turkey Saug...with Salad....
    Sweet Treat....s/f Jello With Dollop Of S/f Cool Whip...and About 5 Walnuts To Top It Off...

    Drinks Usually Goes Something Like ....coffee In The Am...water All Day....diet Coke W/dinner....

    What Can I Do To Convert This To Atkins???

    Re: Okay Dont Yell Or Say Get The Book

    No Egg Beaters, go for the real thing
    No V8

    No almonds for the first two weeks...they are allowed later in OWL

    I'd drop the S/F jello. No Cool whip, but you can make your own whipped cream and sweeten with splenda.

    It's recommended to drop the soda and coffee...

    So as you can see, pretty big difference. Check out the acceptable foods list and the induction rules in the FAQ forum.

      Replace the egg beaters with real eggs, take out the V8, take out the almonds and walnuts during induction...

      By the book - eliminate s/f jello (unless making your own), eliminate caffiene (so coffee and diet coke, unless the coffee is decaf).

      I'm *NOT* saying to do this AT ALL - I still drink coffee, and have every time I've done Atkins, I ate the jello the first 2 times, not this time, I think it's just a matter of I don't remember to make it in advance, and I drank diet coke all previous times, and occaissionally this time.

        Hey frenchfri! saw your post in the other thread about the differences etc. I think its great you are educating yourself on the differences between the two ways of life. I know I looked at SB for a long while before I started Atkins. You didnt mention it in the other thread, nor here, are you thinking of switching and thats the reason for the interest or just simple curiosity? Either way, best of luck.

            Uhm. Almonds are just the first couple weeks. I believe South Beach has a phase similar to induction where most of these things aren't allowed either...

              Hate to disagree with folks, but I see nothing wrong with Egg Beaters.

              http://www.dietfacts.com/html/items/28852.htm

              The V8 is out due to having carrots which aren't allowed during induction. Nuts are for later, too.

              The jello (homemade) & soda/coffee (supposed to be caffeine free) are allowed but only 2-3 servings per day for artifical sweeter, a soda = 1, each packet =1.

              You have to count net carbs (total carbs less fiber) in EVERYTHING, and have 20 or fewer g/day for the induction phase.

              www.fitday.com can help you keep track.

              My question is, what's in your salad and how much of each ingredient? And do you use dressing?

                Wow, I guess I'm on crack. I thought egg beaters had added sugar to make up for taking out the fat.

                  **shrugging shoulders** Don't feel bad, even Higgies (a mod) said no Egg Beaters. ((Dying to see his response))

                    I'm not saying egg beaters are bad...but I'd say the added fat would be good for the first weeks of induction. Why mess with one of nature's most perfect foods. IMHO

                      I am with Higgies! Eggs are a wonderful thing and a great balance of fat/protein etc.

                        Re: Okay Dont Yell Or Say Get The Book

                        I agree - a 1/4 cup of eggbeaters according to their manufacturer contains 6 grams of protein, 1 gram of carbs and no fat so if using it do make sure you add fat to get your 'ideal' ratios of 65% fat/30% protein/5% carbs at each meal.
                        Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

                            Good point, Lyssie
                            I am sure that helped to up the fat percentage but maybe would need checking in fitday.com to make sure.
