Hi all:
I just started Atkins a week ago...what are considered good low carb breakfast choices, other than "eggs" and "salmon rollups" mentioned in the book? I am already getting bored with those. Also, I have read in two places now that a high protein diet causes osteoporosis in women especially but I have heard of one man who got it as well. I do supplement with calcium every day. Anyone know about this? Finally, i have never in my life eaten eggs every day. I am trusting that what the book says is true but have a hard time believeing that this will lower my cholesterol! I never used to eat meat more than about twice a week (fish or chicken) now I am eating meat every day, including beef! Its a little mind blowing...
thanks
Saille

Sallie,

I take both calcium and magnesium every day myself to keep my bones strong. ON the breakfast issue, many people get locked into thinking that you can only have "breakfast" foods for breakfast. But really you can eat whatever you want. Sometimes I eat leftovers to change things up. Cream Cheese in celery wrapped with ham is good. Some times I just grab some macadamia nuts. As long as you eat something. Also there is a great recipe section on these boards with a lot of ideas. And yes, the porkrind pancakes are good, as hard to belieave I know!

Thanks. I have another question. I am in induction. I find I still want "something sweet" so I bought some of the LC 2g or 4 g bars. I hope I am not screwing it up. I have lost 5 pounds in one week. I assume its mostly water weight....
