Re: How would you do Atkins if...

Just curious as to how things are working out for you?

Re: How would you do Atkins if...

I simply stopped by to add fuel for thought. I've been in similar circumstances before, and found the following useful:

Small electric appliances (ie, immersion heater, single burner, coffee maker)

Small portable grill you can burn wood or charcoal in

Coolers you can keep refilling with ice or rotating frozen food in and out of from a nearby freezer

Know closing times for area restaurants, delis, convenience stores, and grocers which either may hand out leftovers to an asker, or toss perfectly good food you can dive for once they close

Visit occasionally establishments which offer free food during "Happy Hour"

Duing winter, if you're in a zone that stays cold enough, you can use the outdoors or even your vehicle for fresh food storage. Just be sure to wildlife-proof stuff outside.

Fishing and/or hunting, plus a good bit of foraging can help if you are in the right location. Some farmers will even allow askers to after-pick when they've finished picking in an area.

I find I have the best luck when I cook two or three dishes on Sundays and maybe Wednesdays. It helps to have something ready to grab to avoid temptation (not that I've been avoiding all of it, but you get the idea).
