  • There's 2 carbs in an 18 ounce cup of coffee? Yikes! I better watch the coffee. Good luck Leens, I just started back strong on Thursday. We'll make it!
  • Hello everyone, I am starting Atkins tomorrow for the first time. I was going to stop at the grocery store today and am not really sure what to pick up. I know no breads or pasta. Can I have bacon during the induction period? What are your in between snacks( please don't say nothing)?
    Thanks for your help.
  • Welcome, Leenie, and RFP.
    RFP, check out the recipe section and yes, you definitely can have bacon during Induction on Atkins.
  • Peach..... sounds good to me !!

    Jennifer thanks for the good luck wishes, I will need it thats a given.

    RFP, check out atkins' website, theres all the info on there that you'll need. I would suggest buying his latest paperback version, but look at the date when it was published. There are several that say REVISED/NEW.. get the one that say either 2001 or 2002 (can't remember).

    I'm hoping I did good yesterday, I ate so much meat last night it almost felt naughty (oh get your minds out of the gutter will yah's )

    Now let me ask a question for yah's.

    In Dr. Atkins Book, it says you can eat 3 cups of salad or 2 cups of salad and 1/3 cup of cooked veggies.

    What if you have 5 gms of carbs left over, can't you have more veggies if you want, as long as you stay under 20 ? Whats the deal with that ?
