Re: I thought i was on the atkins. Glad i found this site

T and i just signed up at fitday looks a little cofusing with looking up the food but i just now signed up so i havnt gave it a chance yet.

Welcome Strong.

Fitday takes a teeny bit of work in the beginning, but after a while it gets easier as you learn to navigate it. And...After a short time the foods you added will will build up a little history, and then you can go to "recent foods" after a while and just check those foods you ate in the past to add to your day's menu. You won't have to actually search for them "from scratch" after a very short time.

Yes, you did.

However, it's best to know what to eat before you start!

Yes.

Make sure you're eating Induction vegetables, too.

Welcome to ADBB, Manny!

Don't worry, you will soon get the hang of it because it's really not all that complicated.

THANKS for the links i have already printed them and will read them when i get home. and i just signed up at fitday looks a little cofusing with looking up the food but i just now signed up so i havnt gave it a chance yet.

You'll get the hang of it - learn how to enter custom foods too for foods you don't find there.

And I suggest - follow Georgiana's advice.

Re: I thought i was on the atkins. Glad i found this site

thank you i just purchased the audio atkins book

I don't know how's the audio book.

if anyone has a meal plan that they can show me so i have an example of one.

It's best to use the Acceptable Foods List to plan your own meals. That's how you learn.

breakfast an egg omlete with chees and bell peppers

Only one egg? I'd starve with that breakfast.

snacks were peperoni and string cheese. which i know the pep is not good.

It's a processed meat... it's generally cured with sugar... and it should be avoided.

chicken ceaser salad

Sans croutons... and check the ingredients and net carbs in the dressing.

Atkins is a high fat diet. During Induction, 60-70% of your daily calories should come from fat.

You can use fitday.com to enter your daily menus. It will give you back carbs, dietary fiber, protein, fat, percentages, calories, etc.

To calculate net carbs, which is what we count on Atkins, you subtract dietary fiber from total carbs.

can i eat sugar free jello on the induction.

You "can" and you would need to count each serving as one serving of sweetener. Sweeteners are limited to 3 servings per day.

However, my advice is to starve your sweet tooth... which means avoiding sweets, at least during Induction.

Re: I thought i was on the atkins. Glad i found this site

I find the paperback handy to have around, so I suggest you buy it as well. Nice bathroom reading.

You need a lot more veggies, my friend. I find the humble cherry tomato a handy-dandy little guy to eat with my meats/fats.

Also - eat more fatty things. Atkins is a high fat/medium protein/low carb diet. Don't be afraid of good, hearty butter, and the nicer, fattier cuts of meat.

I recommend you sign up for fitday (FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal) and track what you eat - it makes a HUGE difference!
