Hi Bella, welcome!

I pretty much followed Dr Atkins' lists when I was started. 2 cups salad plus 1 cup other vegies, plus ½ avo and olives, etc.

I notice you have only read Atkins for Life as yet. I found that it was mostly geared for maintenance, and so I would recommend you spend the 20 odd bucks on Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution, where he explains in detail exactly what you can and can't eat on Induction.

Until you get it, you can find the info on www.atkins.com

All the best to you, matey.
