Default Re: Shopping list for Induction

I have a low carb cook book ironically called "the low- carb cookbook" by fran mc cullough. There is a great section about how to make your pantry low carb....she actually lists many things such as mayo, bacon bits, sugar free syrups, etc. Things that you wouldnt normally think about until after you start.

Im on induction also, and jello has greatly helped me in the evenings. I have done Atkins 2 times before and I stock the refridge and pantry with pepperoni, string cheese, franks hot sauce, shredded cheddar to make cheese crisps (which are great if you need something crunchy and much better than those nasty pork rinds), I get heavy cream and make whipped cream (with vanilla and splenda) and use it to top my jello sometimes and as a sweetener for my coffee. I was so excited to find out that you can have snow peas as I am not fond of many vegetables. Make sure you get lettuce and things for salad. There are lists in the book as someone above has mentioned....but I have found mostly on induction to just go with plenty of meat and salads. When I get the sweet craving I go to jello and sometimes a spoonful of no sugar added peanut butter (I know its a no no). If you like vegs, you shouldnt really have a hard time, like me

I have some really super recipes if youd like me to send you some! I think that in the atkins book there is a great recipe for "asian skirt steak"...even off the diet I ate it often, and I am not big on steak.
