Well, there's Atkins, and then there's low carb diets. You're completely justified in creating your own low-carb plan, but it's not Atkins

I have taken the avacado advice the eggs advice and I mentioned I will buy some bok-choy. I've also ordered the book (that is on its way) as I have said, this is atkins is *new* to me. I didn't know I was expected to be perfect at something that is new that I am obviously making adjustments to. I am surprised to hear something unthoughtful and rude coming from a moderator. Maybe my outlook of education and support of this forum was a miss judgement.

Hi Echo,
Were you talking to me or Liv? If it's me, I didn't see where I was rude.
I see Liv gave you some wonderful advice on your menu that you posted and you thanked her for it on the 2nd and 3rd.
Then when you posted your menu today on the 9th, almost a week later after Liv gave you advice on some really important info. You should of maybe read the info she gave you in those 6 days?
I can see how it could be frustrating for someone who just gave you great advice and to see what your menu was today. See where i'm getting at?
Did you read the rules of Induction? As well as the Foods Allowed on Induction during those 6 days? If you had, i'm thinking maybe your menu wouldn't of looked like it did today. I think that's where Liv was coming from.(Sorry if i'm speaking out of term Liv). Your menu didn't change after advice was given on how to do it correctly. She's a really nice Moderator that would really like to help you. No disrespect intended.
I understand how it is to learn new ways and how it isn't easy to make lifestyle changes. No one expects perfection here. It truly is a learning journey. Heck, i've been doing this for nearly 5 years and i'm still learning.
Please keep at it. Once you get the book and read it, it will become much clearer to you on how to do it. Right now just follow the Induction Rules and eat off of the Allowed Food List.
Our intentions and jobs here are to help guide you. No disprespect intended.
I'm sorry you were offended. I look forward to watching your success.
Sincerely, Sherri

Well I certainly did not want to be rude. Sorry you took offense. I apologize that I came across that way. No reason to be rude here. I agree with that.
I just thought that after everybody stressed the need to eat veggies and you come back with absolute no veggies you had decided to go your own way. But if you sincerly want advice and you are trying to make your diet more like Atkins, I will comply

Breakfast
3 Eggs
2 Turkey Bacon Strips
3 Glasses of water

It is looking good. You can eat real bacon if you want as we want more fat than protein in our diet. But if there is butter and oil involved you are OK. You can add a bit of veggie with this. Some cucumber? A bit of tomato?

Lunch: Two 1/2 pound burger patties
Spoon of Mayo
Chicken breast sliced into strips fried in Olive Oil
2 Glasses of water

This is a lot of food. Probably more than anybody reasonably need. Do you need to eat all that? If you are hungry try some fatty snacks in between your meals instead.
You have to cut down on some of the protein. And you need to eat veggies. You need 3 cups of veggies every day.

Dinner:

Chicken dashed lightly with lemon pepper
Turkey Pattie
1 egg
2 or 3 glasses of water

Again you are not eating very balanced. We really recommend veggies.

Vegetables


You can have two to three cups per day of these vegetables. They are called "salad" vegetables in the book

alfalfa sprouts
daikon
mushrooms
arugula
endive
parsley
bok choy
escarole
peppers
celery
fennel
radicchio
chicory
jicama
radishes
chives
lettuce
romaine lettuce
cucumber
moche
sorrel
These salad vegetables are high in phytonutrients and provide a good source of fiber.

Other Vegetables
You can have one cup per day of these veggies if you only had two cups salad vegetables

The following vegetables are slightly higher in carbohydrate content than the salad vegetables:

artichoke
celery root
pumpkin
artichoke hearts
rhubarb
asparagus
chard
sauerkraut
bamboo shoots
collard greens
scallions
dandelion
snow peas
bean sprouts
dandelion greens
spaghetti squash
beet greens
eggplant
spinach
broccoli
hearts of palm
string or wax beans
broccoli rabe
kale
summer squash
brussels
kohlrabi
tomato
bean sprouts
leeks
turnips
cabbage
okra
water chestnuts
cauliflower
onion
zucchini
If a vegetable, such as spinach or tomato, cooks down significantly, it must be measured raw so as not to underestimate its carb count.
