 Re: My Induction menus | |
You are missing some veggies. You should be eating 3 cups per day, either 3 from the "Salad Vegetables" list OR 2 from the "Salad Vegetables" list and one from the "Other Vegetables" list. The lists are here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)
Over half of the net carbs in your menu should come from vegetables.
There is a lot of protein there. Are you eating enough fat? Atkins is a high fat diet and Dr. Atkins wrote that excess protein will be converted into glucose. This is why the percentages you should aim for are 65% fat, 5% carbohydrates and 30% protein, where the percentages are computed from the total caloric intake.
Also check the ham for added sugars.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
