First week.

[sasersas]

Hi, im 22 years old, about 5.7, and weight 219 currently. I set my goal weight for 150. I dont see any trouble with lowering my carb, I just have trouble incorporating the carbs i have to get from vegetables in my diet. So just to make it clear, I can pretty much eat all the meat I want, get 15 net carbs from veggies, and the 5 grams left i can do whatever with. So what i was thinking that i eat eggs in the morning, a nice big salad for lunch, and alot of meat for dinner.

Hi and welcome to ADBB.

We follow the 2002 Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR) it would be a helpful for you to have a copy of the book to refer to. At the top of the induction page you’ll find a condensed version of the book - http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/spotlight-introduce-yourself/60133-if-you-new-read.html

Make a copy of this list: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html and take it with you when you go to the store. If a food isn’t listed on the acceptable food list don’t eat it. Make sure you don’t just look at the “carb” number look at the ingredients list of everything and check the ingredients against your list. Just because it says "low carb" doesn't mean you can eat it. Also check for hidden sugars (learn the names used in place of the word “sugar”). We count "net carbs" (carb minus fiber = net carbs) – you can keep track of your daily food on FitDay or another program.

You'll find it easier to spread your vegetables through the day -- eat some with each meal and you'll stay full longer, your blood sugar will stay level longer and you'll get all your carbs in fairly easily. Make sure you eat good things with those "5 grams left" check your list above for good choices.

The recipe sites are helpful for meal planning – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.
