Hi there. Starting Atkins today, 29/11/08. I have ANDR at home, but I am away at the moment so will not have it for reference for a couple of weeks.
Basically just wondering if things like hotdogs are ok to eat? I realize anything with carbs needs to be counted into your 20g carb limit, but basically just wondering if these processed meats are ok to eat in moderation? I shall be eating things like sausages, bacon, hot dogs-are these all ok?
Also, I have read conflicting things about whether balsamic vinegar is ok, is it? I have full fat Hellmans mayo, is that an acceptable mayo to have?
Thanks for any help! Appreciate it. Really want to get this right and lose as much weight possible in the 18 days I have before I go home. Be as good as possible when I get home, counting all the parties etc, and get really back on track after NYE. Also, can anyone recommend a good low carb cook book? I'm going to try to get my Mom on this bandwagon, so would like to have a nice cookbook to tempt her with! Thanks a mil!
