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.

[Leenie]

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 ?
