Monday:
Veal Scallop w. white wine caper sauce(his recipe).... contains wine and bake mix
snack: controlled carb shake (speaks for itself)
Wednesday
Homemade chicken soup(his recipe) ....contains carrots
thursday
turkey cutlets w green peppercorn(his recipe)....contains bake mix
friday
(brkfst) 2 bran crackers....speaks for itself
saturday
roasted garlic veg dip (his recipe)contains carrots
sunday
zucchini nut bread(his recipe) contains bake mix AND almonds

I'm just saying....you guys are jumping on this guy wayyyyy too hard.
My 2 cents. |
I don't think anyone are jumping on this guy too hard. I am concerned about a couple of things. According to his first post he has never been able to do Atkins - now reading what he eats when he tries to do induction - goes far in explaining why he cannot stick to the plan. Every single woman's issue is full of plans where you can lose that first 10 lbs easily and you can just about any old way but the problem is how are you (and in this case DD) going to succeed. I think he is on the wrong path. Eating a much more cleaner induction menu in my opinion is a place to start. The stuff he is doing is plainly not healthy. And I think in the long run not sustainable.
About the discrepancies in the book. The only explanation that I have come across is a post on this board by 2big I think. She says that when they put together DANDR there was some pasting from older copies and some errors did happen. There are some others in the recipes as well.
