    Hi Guys,

    The only way that I can do it .. If I prep dishes in advance and freez them.
    Induction phase - 1


    Here is the menu.


    Meal Plan 1

    Breakfast - eggs + ham

    Lunch - Spinach or other greens + Chicken ( Baked, Cooked )+ Dressing no sugar / 0 carbs

    Dinner - 1.5 Chicken Brest with cheese/ little cube ( Baked or Fried ) + Mashed cauliflower



    Meal Plan 2

    Breakfast - eggs + bacon ( 2 strips )

    Lunch - same as before greens + chicken or turkey + dressing

    Dinner - 2 pieces of pork wrapped with dill pickle and bacon - fried/or baked + broccoli


    Meal Plan 3

    Breakfast - eggs + sausage

    Lunch - green as above olive oil + vinegar

    Dinner - low carb chili + cheese


    If I get hungry some Miracle Noodles ( No Sugar, No Carbs ) + Srriraca sauce 1 tbsp

    Lots of water.

    What do you guys think about these... Is this stuff ok for induction phase ?

    Does baking vs cooking vs frying makes difference, I',m planning of using olive oil, coconut oil

    I will count Carbs in portions.

    Please advise if this good menu for induction phase or its to much.

    Thank you

    Hello mrWho,

    Your menu looks pretty good. Have you read Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution 2002 or a prior version? This is critical in doing Atkins the way Dr. Atkins designed it. That being said, you should be getting 12-15 net carbs (total carbs minus dietary fiber) from veggies & salad. Have you printed out the Induction acceptable foods list? Basically, if it isn't on that list, don't eat it.

    Be sure you are eating protein with your veggies or salad. I usually have 2 salads per day, 1 for lunch and a small salad at dinner. I also found a good way to be sure I was getting enough veggies was to add raw veggies to my salads.

    Personally, I would stay away from those "Miracle Noodles" as well as the Sirracha sauce. Also, what are the ingredients in the "low carb" chili ?

    Make sure you are eating enough. You might want to consider a snack or 2. Hard boiled eggs, deviled eggs, bacon, tuna salad, chicken salad, all make great snacks.

    I hope this helps.

    All the best to you!!
