Hi Twister

Welcome to our ADBB family

The most I have paid for a copy of Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution is 50 pence in a charity shop

If you have a charity shop near you I would ask them if they have any copies of DANDR out the back if there are none on the shelves. My local ones tend not to put 'diet books' out for sale but toss them in their 'to be dumped' box and ditch them from time to time.

If you are still not lucky then send me a pm and I can send you one if you send me a large SAE!

I don't think this is right. I think tofu is what is allowed as "soy cheese" in the cheese rules (footnote to page 125 in my copy).

However, if somebody does not eat meat or eggs and has to stick to the rules about cheese, whether tofu is included in the cheese allowance or not, it might be tough to get enough protein/fat on induction.

Twister, do you eat fish? Can you tell us exactly what you are eating on a sample or typical day, including weight of each food if possible? Or at least a guess as to the size of portion?

That's right!

I don't see why fat would be a problem, because they can always consume oils and butter.

But if someone does not eat meat and eggs, then they might be better off starting in OWL.

I agree with Elizellen - I went to 1 thrift store and found 6 copies in one paperback section. I bought 5 and gave them to all of my friends that were curious about what I was doing. This book was a best seller, there has to be one floating around at a thrift store or garage sale nearby?
