Mel Again....
Rita I noticed you are doing atkins and wanted to tell you, as for your question about salad.
I have the Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution book and it will tell you all about the acceptable foods you can eat, has a carb counter and all. It says you can have 3 cups of lettuce a day, or two cups of lettuce and 1 cup of other acceptable veggies.
I usually make my salad with lettuce say a cup, a little celery which is very low in carbs, some green onion, a little sprinkle of grated cheese, a little diced cucumber,a tiny bit of cilantro and sometimes a little bit of tomatoe, (you have to watch out and not eat to many tomatoes, they are higher in carbs). Makes a pretty good salad. If you have the book, you can look into the back and see the carb count on vegatables and figure out what you can put into your salad and still keep the carbs low. A little more of this and a little less of that.... If you dont have the book, I know they have them on ebay.com Happy dieting.....Mel
