Can anyone help me im due to start the atkins 2 week induction tomorrow i done this diet back in 2003 and lost 3 stone and after having my third child recently i want to shed some more pounds.

Im getting quite un-sure what foods i can have as people have now said you can have vegtables in your first 2 weeks phase and others have stated you cant.


Please please help me get this right any1 who has succesfully done this diet i would love to hear from you what foods i can eat.

Welcome to the board!

You should have vegetables during all the phases of Atkins. Without vegetables, it's not Atkins.

I would recommend reading the 2002 edition of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution. That's the book we go by at ADBB.

In the meantime, these links should help:

Hi Michelle

Welcome to our international ADB family

Are you in the UK? ( I notice you mentioned having lost 3 stone in the past so am guessing you are my side of the pond )

If you have not yet got a copy of DANDR 2002 (2003 in UK) you might be able to get hold of one for under 50p at a charity shop if you have any local to you. I often see copies on their shelves whenn I go looking for smaller clothes and donating my larger ones.

Re: Startin 2 weeks induction tomorrow!!

There is a good thread called 'weight of vegetables per cup' in the FAQ forum that I use a lot for this.

And another useful spreadsheet here too which annotates foods for which phase of Atkins they are 'legal'
