You need to read the Induction Acceptable Foods List:
http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)

Figure out what foods YOU like to eat on it. Then make up a meal plan that is based on YOUR food preferences.

Don't take the easy way out by copying someone else's menu. What if you are allergic to eggs and that is what the person eats: eggs? What if you can't stand shrimp, and that is what the person eats?

There's no easy way around this. So sit down with that list and with the Rules of Induction and devise your menus based on what you like to eat. You'll have a better chance of sticking to this diet if you do.

Megs is right - you need to plan meals around your preferences not someone elses - this is a learning experience and a life changing way of eating so what someone else eats might not be for you.

You can look at other people's menus and see if there are any foods in particular you would like to eat but just looking at the acceptable food list and making your own choices is the best way to plan your meals.

Good luck

for me, i eat eggs in the morning with a bit of cheese.
i eat some type of meat for lunch, chicken,steak,pork (i personally make lunch my
biggiest meal of the day, for i am still active during the day
at dinner i eat eggs again, (i try to keep it light during dinner since i am not as active after dinner, and dont want to be full. but other options can be salad or veggies

What kind of meals did you use to eat before starting Atkins?

[laura1986]

cheese,chicken,bread,pasta,fruit,salad,buscuits,ch ips,bacon and salad.mayo.beans on toast umm loads of rubbish.

OK, what you want to do is have your current menu be as close to your old menu as possible... you don't want to pull a 180 and completely have to rethink everything you eat...

So out of your list there, you can have:

cheese, chicken, salad, bacon, mayo and I'm sure you use to eat other things that were legal mixed in with the bad stuff... just find those items and start with those... you can add new legal items as you discover new things that you like to eat...
