>>Can you guys give me some sample menus?>>

That's a tough one. The best "sample menu" there is is the List of Acceptable Foods for Induction!

Honestly, we all like such different foods ... it would be hard to construct a menu that we both would like.

If you need ideas, you can check out Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home and look at the menus section ... or check out the Recipe section at this forum, Atkins Food and Recipes - Atkins Diet

sample menu for what i find personally works best for me at loseing weight

morning: 5-7 eggs and unsalted butter

snack: a steak in unsatled butter or grape seed oil

tiny sip of cod liver oil

lunch: lots of slightly fried broccoli 2-4 mins cooking time under the frying pan lid with unsalted butter flip them once after 2 mins note: i like to cut all the stems off my broccoli i dont like much fiber cause it just flushes the food out of my system with in 15 hours however other people can like fiber

dinner: chicken or eggs or steak with unsalted butter or grape seed oil or olive oil

snack: nothing or chicken or eggs or steak with unsalted butter or grape seed oil or olive oil


ok thats what i find would give me best weight loss results but if i was going for a little better tasteing food and much less weight loss but no weight gain of course then i would add feta cheese to my eggs and some raspberries and medium carb vegetables like spagetti squash tomatos and other cheeses as well and etc which i eat like most of the time but not when i want to lose weight fast i also cant handle whipping cream

this is just what i eat personally it can be different for everyone


but anyways love777 it doesnt sound like you know alot about atkins yet go to fitday.com and try and aim for a % of 65% fat , 30% protein , 5% carbs , note it doesnt matter if your 65% fat% gos higher than 65% just the 30% protein and 5% carbs are to try and not go higher atleast till you start the rungs

also know that whole wheat is a Rung 9 food and fruit is a Rung 7 food

you need to climb the rungs first before you can even try eating whole wheat or fruit in the past i did not know about the rungs and from just one 10net carb whole wheat thin wrap it completely stalled all of my weight loss for many months till i figured it out and cut them out of my diet so remember not all net carbs are the same some spike your blood sugar much more than others and the rungs help show what foods do that

so you climb a rung and if your still loseing weight then you can move to the next one and basically the rung your weight loss stalls at then that helps tell you the foods and the rungs you can eat up to while still loseing weight and then the rung of foods that would only be ok for matainence

people can skip rungs too if there not working like rung 3 nuts and seeds people tend to eat to many of them and it doesnt work out so they just skip it

personally i cant even make it to rung 1 while still loseing good weight spagetti squash and tomatos slowed me down or even stalled but rung 2-4 = stalls for me so i eat them on maintenance while other people can lose good weight on rung 4 and higher and such

rung 3-4 used to make me slightly gain weight till i started exerciseing at the gym now i can eat them and matain

anyways its differnt for everyone everyone has differnt levels of insulin resistance or everyone eats differnt amounts of food im sure if i didnt eat so much i could go higher rungs and still lose weight but these are the things the rungs help you figure out
