Not on Induction. Here is the list of foods acceptable during the first phase of Atkins: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html

Hi Gilly

Welcome to our international ADBB family

As Georgiana said, beetroot is not on the allowed list for induction.

As it is a starchy vegetable it can be reintroduced when you are at the 8th rung/level of the second phase of Atkins (ongoing weight loss/aka OWL) if it does not cause you to stall in your losing or give you cravings and other blood sugar problems.

How are you enjoying induction?

Re: beetroot

Luckily for me I was not really a 'sweets' person, always preferring savoury foods, so it was not too hard to make the switch.

And once I worked out how to make a 'legal' bread-substitute it helped me no end being able to have a bacon sandwich now and again

Re: beetroot

For induction the best option is the Revolution Roll recipe.
Here is a link to the thread with the original recipe from Dr Atkins http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...pes-added.html

I vary it by using mayonnaise instead of the cream cheese (to 'save' my cheese allowance for other recipes) and spreading it out on a baking tray to make a slab which can be divided into 6 slices instead of piling up dollops to make rolls.

BTW if you can't find cream of tartar you can make it without and it should work.
