Re: My Menu : Okay for Induction?

Thanks for the advice! Ill give this menu a go for the next two weeks, and if I'm still stalling out I'll replcae my meats. I really enjoy my fajitta, its like my desert in this meal plan :P

Ill keep everyone updated. And I will check back for any more advice. I'll take it all.

And do not use pre grated cheese. There is corn starch in it.

Not trying to hijack the thread but I just want to say thank you sooooooo much for posting this!!!! I had NO idea and just assumed my shredded cheese was safe! This whole time I have been eating about 3-4 oz of cheese with potato and corn starch in it.

Thank you for helping me to realize this! I bought a block of cheese tonight to grate myself

Re: My Menu : Okay for Induction?

You say you barely use any fat -- you need to get enough fat in your daily meals - if you've read the book you'll know that is a big part of the program. I checked a package of fajita meat in my freezer earlier and remembered why I don't eat it (my husband does) -- it has sugars in it....that's probably why it tastes so good to you. There are many words for sugar....

Re: My Menu : Okay for Induction?

I get plenty of fat in my diet. Plenty. When I say I barely use any I mean that I barely use any of the butter with my eggs, I just use it for some flavor. I am getting between 80-100+ grams of fat every day. I know fat is a key point of Atkins, I've read the book, I just happen to not want to throw out a perfectly good tub of Smart Balance if the only thing I am using it for is a bit of flavor in the morning.

BTW: is there a way to figure out how much fat you should be getting on Atkins?

Re: My Menu : Okay for Induction?

On induction, you should follow this ratio: 65% fat, 30% protein, 5% carbs.

You guys are genius! Absolute Genius! I started eating more veggies, mostly brocolli, every day and my weight has started melting away again, just like the last time i did induction. I'm at 4lbs loss since I increased my veggies. Thank you so much!

Way to work it lady.
We often hear this about veggies. I think there is some magic in them.

I am SO glad the scale is cooperating again. LOL

Keep up the good work!
