Thanks guys! | Your menu is low carb, but it's not Atkins. Remember Atkins is a high fat diet and during Induction 65% of your calories should come from fat, 30% from protein and 5% from carbohydrates.
You should also be eating 3 cups of vegetables per day---either 3 cups of salad vegetables or 2 cups of salad vegetables and 1 cup of vegetables from the "Other Vegetables" list.
Do yourself a favor and read the book before starting Atkins. Also take a look at the FAQ section on the Board and read the stickies on top of the Induction forum.
The book we use here is "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" (2002).

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!"
