Hi Lu. Welcome
Did you have a chance to get the Atkins book - New Diet Revolution
there are some recipes in there.
We have some on this page in the recipe section
And
Here are some threads in our FAQ that will help you.

Welcome to ADBB!

Lu, understanding the program is more important than getting a few recipes. Follow liv's advice and get the 2002 Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution and read it cover to cover.

How much you lose by Christmas depends on a lot of things. Age, current weight, gender, level of commitment, amount of plain water you drink, exercise level---so it is really impossible to say with any degree of accuracy. And if you are doing this without the book you probably won't be as successful because you are likely to make mistakes along the way that set you back.
