(6 oz. Grilled Chicken

2T Ranch Dressing

Dinner
Fish Fry (fish fillets dipped in egg and coated in whey protein and fried in vegetable oil)
1 cup salad greens
¼ medium tomato
1 thin slice red onion
1 cup Broccoli rabe with butter
The ranch dressing should be SF. The coffee should be decaf.

Whey protein is not okay during Induction, but only during OWL Rung 2.

One should check that the bacon has no sugar/dextrose.

Vegetables are limited to 3 cups per day -- max. 1 cup from the "Other Vegetables" list and the rest from the "Salad Vegetables" list. This menu has more than 4 cups.

Technically, broccoli rabe should only be introduced in OWL since it's not on the list of foods acceptable during Induction. Also "salad greens" is very general -- they have to be salad greens "legal" for Induction.

The Atkins Hot Cereal is definitely not allowed in Induction, because it contains soy and oats.

Most luncheon meats contain sugar/dextrose, so one should check for that.

Sausage patties might contain sugars or fillers not allowed during Induction. It's something one should check for.

Megs wrote somewhere that there are some "fake" bacon bits, which are not okay on Atkins. So the bacon bits should be made from real bacon.

Same comment as before about dressings and vegetables.

And sprinkle with:
2T Parmesan or Romano cheese
2 cups salad with 2T Dressing
There's way to much cheese in this menu. Cheese is limited to 3-4 oz per day.

Again, no Atkins Hot Cereal in Induction.

Unless one has problems with constipation, flax is limited to 1 tbsp per day. So if someone eats this menu, they should not supplement with more flax.

Same as above about veggies and dressings. Worcestershire sauce normally has sugar in it. Soy sauce, even if SF, has non-Induction ingredients (soy), so it should be avoided.

Pork rinds are not really a free food. They have a lot of sodium and, because they are a bit like chips, people have issues controlling their portion size... hence water retention issues. Dr. Atkins was limiting pork rinds to 1 cup per day, although this is not mentioned in DANDR (pork rinds are not mentioned in DANDR at all).

Same as above about sausages, luncheon meats, dressings and veggies.

Cream is limited to 2 tbsp per day. Another 3 oz can be consumed as a "Special Category Food", but it may stall some people or slow down their weight loss.

1/4 cup of cream is 2 oz. See comment above about cream.

Salami should also be checked for sugars/fillers.

Same comments as before about veggies and dressings. I have no idea what the pasta stir-through sauce is...

Is the creamy almond chicken made with almonds? If it is, then it's not allowed during Induction.

If the Atkins Mini-Muffins are the ones on atkins.com, they are not allowed during Induction as they contain soy and almonds.

Same as before about veggies, dressings, etc.
