Twilight,
Yes tomatoes and onions are on the acceptable list, but, they both are high carb items. That's because they have more sugars in them than something like cauliflower. I pointed out the chicken from what you posted. Like you said, it wasn't fried. Note, my point is that you were getting sugar into your system - which makes you hungry. Cut out all sugar and you won't be hungry. Trust me. I learned this very thing the hard way.
Buy up meats and chicken parts that you like when they're on sale. Oven roast, use your crock pot, package and freeze dinners for your use during the week when you don't have time.
Have a chicken leg or two after you've eaten breakfast as your snack! Roast a turkey breast, slice it up. Slather a piece of it with mayo and a slice of cheese for your afternoon snack.
This diet is really simple in that you get to eat lots of fat, moderate protein, and few carbs.
You're doing it! And getting rid of a couple of little items will teak it even more.
Do you have Atkins' "New Diet Revolution"?
Here is his Blue Cheese Dressing recipe if you don't have the book.
4oz blue cheese (i.e. Stilton, Gorgonzola, Danish blue, Roquefort, Magtag)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
1/3 cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste.
In a medium bowl, mash cheese. Mix in mayo, sour cream, vinegar and mustard until well combined (doesn't have to be smooth).
Whisk in olive oil until blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2 tablespoons = 2 digestible carbs
protein 3 grams, fat 20 grams; calories 200.
This is a excellent dressing. I've made it several times now and it is different with what cheese you use.
