I have started on atkins just a day back and am doing my second day of induction, my question is can i have caffeine free coffee or tea with a tsp of coffeemate creamer and splenda on induction? i am really addicted to the sugar in my coffee and am having a very terrible time having to do without something sugary to drink please , please help!!
You can have decaf and splenda. Coffeemate has hydrogenated oil in it, but if you use it, make sure you count your carbs. I'd get some cream instead, first chance you get. Heavy whipping cream or heavy cream or half and half.
is there any drinks i can have on induction other than water?
I drink diet soda whenever I feel like it and it has never bothered my weight loss.
also i am confused about what are processed cheeses? i bought the usual shredded mozarella and cream cheese in the grocery, are they processed?
You can have those cheeses as well as cheddar and swiss, etc. Just don't eat Velveeta and cheese foods. Make sure they are real cheese.
also i bought some deli turkey slices from tyson but read on the label it contains 2 g of sugar, is it okay for me to eat these?
Yes, just make sure you count the carbs on the label.
i am really to this low carb thing and am having lots of problems trying to uderstand the amount of cheese and butter and meat i should eat....how much of a cup is one ounce?
Weigh your cheese if you have a scale.
and is it ok if i use cheese and a tsp of butter to make my omelette? please help and advice.
Yes, you can have both. Limit the cheese you eat to 3 or 4 oz a day while on induction. You can eat all the butter you want.
Hope this helps.
