Plus, it is really easy to make your own oil and vinegar dressing.  Quote: |
I wanted to use soya sauce but the second ingredient is glucose-fructose so I thought I better stay away from it.
| Yep, that's out too.
Either make your own dressings or look for some that have no "illegal" ingredients added and less than 2 carbs/tbsp. Quote:
What is a good percentage breakdown?
I thought that 65% fat, 30% proteing, and 5% carb was good.
| Yes, 65%, 30%, 5% looks fine. Dr. Atkins recommended we keep protein around 30% during all phases of Atkins. If you have 35% one day, don't worry. But for best results, as per Dr. Atkins, try to average 30% over a few days.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. 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!"
