Help for Newbies! Outlined Menu

  • Hi Everyone! I thought this sample diet menu might help some newbies! I found it in the _Cosmopolitan's Super Diet and Exercise Guide_ Atkin's diet section. It is a great way for people who are new to Atkins to figure out what to eat. It takes all the guess work out of the diet! Hope it helps others like it helped me!
