Hello Michelle and welcome. There are a couple of things you could do.
1. go to www.atkinscenter.com and check out their site. This is Dr. Atkins own site and there is lots of information there including "how to do Induction" and what foods are allowed on Induction and later.

2. Go to your local library and see if they have any of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution books. Or if they can get them from another library. Secondhand / used bookstores are also a good source of cheap copies.

One thing that will startle you is that a person on low carb does NOT have to worry about the fat in the food - meat, butter, olive oil, mayonnaise, eggs and more. That is "good fat" and will help you lose weight. The stuff to beware of is sugar, starch, flour, wheat, bread crumbs, baked goods and breads, and processed foods, transfatty acids and more.

You can eat any meat, fish, eggs, limited cheeses, along with salad greens and veggies, and cooked veggies (but check the list at the Atkins Center). You'll find lots to think about at atkinscenter.com

All the best and welcome to the board.
