Atkins diet blog

I have been stuck or should I say up and down between 160 and 162 for a
couple of weeks now! The only thing I have added since induction is pecans( 1/4
a
cup a day ) and atkins peanut butter cups ( 1 a day ). I am still staying
under 20 carbs. Beginning today, I am going back to induction. Staying under
20
carbs, no nuts, no candy bars!! I am hoping this will get me over the
slump!! I have 15 lbs to go to goal weight!! I was thinking does it just slow
down
alot when you don’t have much to lose??? Maybe that is my problem??? Sharon

Sheryl~ Congrats on the 6 lbs!! Keep up the good work. Sharon

Can someone submit to me a simple menu for the induction phase. I
went to the Atkins siter and the menu is really rather fancy for a
guy like me.
Please submit any ideas to adam_19142@…
Much Love,

Hello,
My first post- three weeks into Atkins. I have been getting all
sorts of varying numbers with regard to heavy whipping cream’s
carbs. The carton says 0, my pocket guide lists 0.4, and other
places I’ve read up to 2 grams! What is the REAL scoop on this? Do
any of you use it a lot?
Thanks!
Holly

Hi,
Are the following foods ok during induction:
1. Decaf Green Tea (decaf tea is listed as ok, but not sure if
green tea counts)
2. Parmesan Cheese (not listed, but wanted to check)
3. Fiber Supplements (such as Beneful, Metamucil, & Sugar Free
Fiber Choice)
My doctor told me several years ago that I must take a fiber
supplement “religiously” every day. I would like to make sure that
the brand I choose isn’t impeding my weight loss (I’m struggling).
Please advise.
Thanks,
Erin

I was wondering if anyone had a recipe for beef jerky seasoning. I make my
own beef jerky and use a store-bought beef jerky seasoning, however, it
contained a bit of sugar. I would love to find a recipe I could use without
sugar.

Hi I just started the Atkins Diet today. I am not sure if i can drink
coffee with milk and Natra taste. Its a form of sugar with 100%
aspartme. Can I use that sugar or do I have to cut off all sugars
period? Can I drink evaporated milk in my coffee? Please let me know.
I really want to do this diet right. I don’t know if I will be. SO
far this morning. I made breakfast. Eggs, ham cheese butter parsley
salt pepper. coffee with 1/3 natra taste and evap. milk and water.
Please let me know if it is ok for me to eat this stuff. thank you..
