  • I need some help

    I'm just starting the diet. I need some help with what I should eat for the first 14 day's.. I have the book and have been reading through it and My mind just can't make up a menu.. I know I have to stay under 20 carb's a day and I can do that. I just don't know what I should eat...
    I was on Atkins a few year's ago and I did really good.. BUT I put the weight back on.. Now I'm trying to lose it again..
    I did have paper's that I printed out from the internet that had idea's of what to eat and I lost them...
    Hope you can help me with a menu.... Thanks Kara121

    Hi Kara
    Welcome to our ADBB family

    What foods from the allowed list for induction do you like or have you got already?
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



    Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

        Like Elizellen wrote, sit down with the Induction Acceptable Foods List and see what you like to eat. Then follow the Rules of Induction when you make up your menu.

        There are plenty of options on that foods list and if you are creative, you can have plenty of wonderful meals.

                I just found the carb counter in the book. I guess I just hate to read.. I will have to take my time and go through the book...

                    99% is.

                    >>It say's free food's>>

                    Free doesn't mean what you might think.

                    Do you have the 2002 edition of the book?

                        Page numbers don't mean anything ... there's too many variations of the book.

                        Your page 94 and mine are different unless you're referring to the white hardcover.

                        What chapter and section?

                          The reason I asked about the copyright of your book, is that "free foods" is from the 1999 version.

                          Does the copyright page of your book have 2002?

                            I found where it said copyright 1992.... It's where the free foods list is... in the section where it say's induction diet.. your 14 day test drive...

                              I figured it was that.

                              Ok ... you have the wrong book. You need the 2002 edition.

                              Until you get it, check out:





                              There are no "free foods" after the 1999 edition.

                              You really need the 2002 book.
