Default Re: New to Atkins and shell-shocked- PLS HELP!

I always did the meat/starch/veggie thing at dinner too - I find that if I have a green salad & a cooked veggie, my plate looks a lot like it used to...lessens the shock a bit

If you don't have the book, do yourself a favour and get it...it will make this a lot easier. Also, read the stickies at the top of the forums...they are really very helpful.

Breakfast ideas...for people who don't care for eggs (me included)
1) quiche
2) deli meat (watch for sugar/carbs) with cheese
3) Sheila's egg-nog shake (recipe below)
4) How about egg salad on a revolution roll (recipe is in the book)?
5) Anything - some people have salad for breakfast!

Snacks
-cheese
-cream cheese-stuffed celery
-low-carb, nitrate free (low sodium if you can get it) pepperoni
-chicken wings (watch the sauce for sugar)
-devilled eggs
-leftover pot roast, chicken, etc!

Try to plan ahead a day or so - you don't want to be trying to figure out what you can east when you are hungry!

Remember that cheese is limited to 4oz per day.

Sheila's Easy Breakfast Shake
Serves 1
6 total carbs for entire recipe
Induction-friendly!
3-oz. cube cream cheese
½ cup Eggbeaters (pasteurized & safe)
¼ cup heavy cream
1 T DaVinci's or Atkins syrup - any flavor! (I used carmel)
4 ice cubes
Blend 30 seconds - add ice cubes last - and enjoy
