    On induction day 4; anyone mind reviewing my menu?

    I really like this site a lot. It is so imformative, and I feel that I can do well with Atkins by coming here regularly. I started four days ago, and think im doing okay, I just think my portions might be large, but Dr. Atkins said eat until you are satisfied at first, which is what I have been doing. So, here is a typical day:

    Breakfast: 3 sausage links, or 3 pieces of bacon, 2 eggs with mushrooms

    Lunch: Chef Salad, no dressing or 1 carb dressing, with two cups lettuce, a little bit of turkey, ham, and cheese, cucumbers.

    Dinner: A large chicken breast cooked in butter, or a 10 oz. steak, and a cup of asparagus with garlic butter.

    Snacks: pickle or two, a handful of pork rinds, or maybe a couple pieces of cheese and lunch meat.

    Alright, what do you guys think? Like I said, I am eating large portions, but I do feel that my body is going into the Keto. mode, as my legs are cramping, etc...

    Thank sso much!

    Hi mlc2005,

    It looks pretty good to me. I'd just say to check/consider the following:
    - you don't say whether you are measuring your cheese portions - a good habit to get into
    - re. bacon and lunch meat - check and double check labels for hidden sugar, things ending in 'ose', also bear in mind if they are salty you can retain water. Having said that I eat bacon a lot, and it's salty but I've been ok. Same thing for pork rinds.
    - With the sausages again check for sugars, but also for carby fillers like breadcrumbs.
    - Also double check pickles and count them in your veggie allowance.
    - It is a good idea to vary your veg. So for lunch other salad veggies like arugula, watercress, celery, etc are good, and for dinner broccoli, zucchini, etc.

    You are right = this site is GREAT for ideas, support and staying on track. Let us know how you get on
