starting to add new things into diet
dh and i are a week past induction. i have book and the "ladder" of foods atkins suggests to introduce into your diet. So far, I have added a few nuts, soon i will add berries. but in the way of grains, what is he talking about (wild rice, what?) also, starch veggies (potatoes,corn, carrots???)
I guess I thought being on this woe i would completely cut out flour, sugar and all starches...so no breads, pastas, white rice.
after you have reached your weight loss and no your "critical carb number" what have you long timers completely steered clear of besides white flour, sugar and pastas? i would like specifics if you please. thanks so much.
dh and i are doing great on this woe. i don't feel deprived at all. i love bread too, but don't miss it. i must admit i bought a box of the atkins muffin mix and have a muffin every now and then..it cures any craving i have. so far, we are eating great, if not 'gourmet'. we eat many meats, eggs, different kinds of really good cheese, nuts, mixed greens, brocolli, mushrooms, asparagus, cabbage, sf jello, cream and butter. i guess the reason i asked the above question, I just want to make sure of what we can NEVER have again.
thanks
