Hey all, started induction for Atkins today. Here's my food for the day:

B'fast:
Two egg yolks, fried in butter
Three rashers of streaky bacon, ditto

Lunch:
One egg yolk, fried in butter
Two slices of bacon bacon, ditto

Dinner:
2 beef short ribs, seasoned with paprika
Rocket and racchcio salad leaves
Homemade French dressing (olive oil, 1tsp mustard, 1 garlic clove, 1tbsp white wine vinegar)

Snacks:
80g packet of snack chorizo (trace carbs)
Another 80g packet of snack chorizo
1 pepperami stick
37g of silverskin onions (1g carbs)

Just wondering if this is too much? Looking forward to pursuing this new approach - only ever tried low calorie before with varying degrees of success.

From what I remember from the book, at the beginning you have to eat until your fill full: not over-full but until you're not hungry anymore. You appetite will diminish as you go along anyway, usually (did for me). I think?!?!?

I'm new too. The only thing I question is the peppermint stick. Do you mean a candy peppermint stick with sugar? That might keep you out of ketosis...

I am curious though, what is chorizo? I could use some snack options.

Thanks for replies Chorizo is a Spanish sausages made with pork and spices. Really tasty and really low carb.

@lose30 - pepperami is a UK meat snack - 0.6g carbs per snack

More veggies, everyone!!!

Glad to be here, very positive people and posts!

Trying to get back in the swing of eating Atkins, in ketosis now, no hunger and re-reading the book... I know that it is the only way for my body to loose the weight.

Wish I had stuck with it many years ago. Could of change my life and health!

Here now and doing good...

Add some veggies it looks good ! Hehe now to make me a egg tata lovely ladies
