I have a question????

[juahhh]

Good morning everyone.... I have a question to ask but first....
this is day 4 on induction and I have lost 5 lbs so far.. if that is all I lose this week, I am happy with that....
but my question in, I was doing a search for induction friendly snacks to have and I cam across a discrepancy of sorts..
You see I really love to eat hummus( i make it myself so I know I put in it)
but while doing a search a lot of people said they had hummus as a snack while on induction, and that it is induction friendly... is it though. I was looking on the Atkins site and it said to stay away from legumes such as chickpeas... I had a few tablespoons the other night with my sliced up cucumber, before I saw that It is not allowed????
Can anyone verify or help me out with this?
thanks.. and keep up the great work everyone and never get discouraged
you CAN and WILL SUCCEED!!!

Hi Juahhh
I love hummus too. Add A little red pepper...my favorite snack!
Unfortunetly it is not on the list of acceptable veggies
A half a cup of chickpeas translates into 23.3 total carbs with 6.7 fiber with a net carb total of 16.6. Which is really too high for Induction. I pasted a link as a reference of what veggies are legal.

I went supermarket shopping last night and stocked up my fridge of things which i knew 100% was atkins friendly and browsed past some hummus last night. luckily i didnt buy them but gosh it tastes good!

Sadly, Not allowed. But do you like taramarsalata. If you make that at home you can have that.
