another newbie for the day
Hi all. First day of induction for me! Hoping I can lose the extra weight so we can have baby #2 some day....am also hoping to be an inspiration for my husband to try atkins too. But first, I want to transform myself and enjoy the new me. Thanks to all those who are willing to post before/during/after pics....it has really helped me take this first step...really motivating!

Re: another newbie for the day
Okay I'm on day 2. My husband is being fairly supportive. He's not doing atkins but supporting my WOL. I know I can convert him when he starts to see the results I've seen on this site! Anyway, he wanted to go to DQ for icecream (for himself) last night and I told him if he did that I would have to leave. I was slightly joking but I did feel it was unfair to bring up on my FIRST day of this WOL. Sheesh! Anyhow, question for the day.... is beef jerky okay? I remember reading something about it back when I had the book but I think I sold the book at a garage sale...so it looks like I'll need to get another one...but can't do that today... so is beef jerky okay on induction?
thanks for any help!
I know I can do it!

Re: another newbie for the day
Hi and welcome Gabrielle!
Most beef jerky sold in the store has sugar in it, making it a no-no. I see no reason why you couldn't make your own at home though!Started June 11, 2006

Re: another newbie for the day
Gabrielle, jerky and stick sausages you can check the label on - the ingredients vary somewhat. You should avoid processed meats anyway. But you can eat them in a pinch, if you determine they don't cause you to have cravings; just be sure to count the carbs. I made homemade jerky before starting induction and knew there was no nitrate or sugar, and it served me well along with porkskins and sipped LOTS of bouillion the first part of induction. Especially day 2! It was a quick transition.
And, if your DH gets ice cream, you can have a shaved ice with sugar free flavoring...~Susan
