 Re: how do you keep your cheese to 3 to 4 oz.? | |
Planning your meals at least a day before will help. Breakfast can be a casserole, lunch will be some meat with veggies... and for dinner ideas check the "What's for Induction Dinner Tonight???" thread in the "14-day Induction" forum.
By the way, ricotta is not allowed during Induction because it is a fresh cheese. And if by "jello" you mean Jell-O and not homemade jelly, then you'll probably want to ditch that as it is sweetened with aspartame, which Dr. Atkins wrote it should be avoided whenever possible as it may stall or slow down weight loss. You can make your own jelly using gelatin and one of the sweeteners allowed on Atkins (check Chapter 11 in DANDR for the list).

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!"
