You might want to read the DANDR Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. I haven't read the new Atkins for Life yet.

Induction has a certain list of food that are allowed, you can also find it at atkinscenter.com You need 20 grams of carbs, mostly from green veggies. Make sure you start a journal so friends can drop in a visit and you can list your foods and get feedback about them.

You need 25 posts to access private messaging.

Substitute for mashed potatoes--mashed cauliflower many people enjoy.

I'd recommend staying far away from bars, shakes, fake food, and sodas. Try to eat real foods and drink as much water as you can.

Welcome,

Beth
