Atkins friendly salad dressing

[mission to lose]

Hi,
I am on day 3 of induction. I have another Question...Is there any brand of Atkins friendly salad dressing you can purchase at the grocery store? All the dressings have so much sugar or high fructose corn syrup, such as Kraft. I am using olive oil and wine vinegar right now, but that is not my favorite.
Thanks.

Hi Mary,

My current favorite is Marie's Blue Cheese. It's usually found in the refrigerated section of the produce aisle. I believe their Caesar works as well.

Good luck!

I'm using Greek Feta - 1 carb per tbsp. I use about 2 tbsp in my salad. I just look at the labels of all the ones that look good. Throw out the ones that have sugar listed on the nutritional label, and I'm left with just carbs. Then I look at ingredients and see if it has sugar, and throw that down. I'm still left with plenty of dressings. Have you thought about shopping in other stores? There's lots of selection at my local wal-mart, and three different grocery stores that I go to. Kraft is just a small amount of what I have to choose from.

Thanks,
I do shop at Walmart and didn't see one I thought was ok, Is there a certain brand that you are aware of? I also shop at Albertson's, it is a national chain that goes by many names depending on the location.
I presume I should be looking for one with no sugar grams listed and no sugar in the ingredients, or is there a certain amount it can contain? I am looking for no sugar. Even the so called Italian what are basically vinegar and oil seem to have sugar in them.
I will also look at the Marie's dressing.

Is that greek dressing "made by Kroger"? So it is like their own house brand?

I use several types of Ken's Steak House & its sold in most Grocery Stores & Walmart. 1 carb per 2 tablespoons & no sugar added

I also use Hidden Valley Ranch 2 carbs per 2 tablespoons without a problem either & know quite a few other on this & another Atkins Forum that use it as well!!!

I was told by several members on Maintence Level 4 that as long as sugar is at least listed 4th to 5th on the label you should be fine trying a product & is you don't stall or gain you can keep using it in moderation!!!

Thanks Cindi,
I will look again today when I shop. I am a bit confused I guess about - some sugar, no sugar, carbs, no carbs when shopping for salad dressing. I do use olive oil and vinegar, but that is a bit boring for me. And today i am on Day 4 of Induction, and I am very pleased with how it is going. I have no major carb withdrawal, and I am nor REAL hungry. In fact after using fitday yesterday, I don't think I am eating enough. I was pretty full for the day and only had 950 calories, so I tried to eat a little more and pushed it to 1143. That is a good question. I wonder how many calories is too little?

Make sure you are eating enough fat - that will give you your calories.
