HOW TO POST YOUR MENU

[JoanOH]

The REVIEW MY MENU forum can be one of the most useful forums here on ADBB, whether you're new to Atkins or an old hand at it! It always helps to have a second set of eyes look over what you are or are not eating!

When posting in this forum, it is IMPORTANT that your menu include food measurements (tablespoon, cups, ounces) of all foods. We can't accurately review "some cheese" but we can be accurate if we read "2 ounces of cheddar cheese".

For a truly accurate review, write down EVERY food you put in your mouth for 24 hours, including measurements. Also, write down all Beverages - water or otherwise, including measurements. Be sure and include oils foods were cooked in, as well as spices and condiments.

Our reviews will be based on the LIST OF ACCEPTABLE FOODS and RULES OF INDUCTION in Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, version 2002 (DANDR for short). It's important that you read the book so you understand the how and why behind the diet. If you don't currently have the book (but you will soon be getting a copy, right? right? ) you can use these links to give you an overview:

WHAT ARE THE RULES OF INDUCTION?

Also, it is very helpful for you to state (if it's not in your signature file) your START WEIGHT, CURRENT WEIGHT, GOAL WEIGHT and the date you started Atkins. Let us know if you are on any medications or have any physical ailments that might affect your weight loss.

Your menu may be reviewed by more than one person! That's GREAT! The more "eyes" looking it over, the more suggestions you'll have for "tweaking" your menu.

We're here to help! Just understand, the more accurate your post, the more accurate our review!

If you are using www.fitday.com to chart your foods, here's a sticky to help you with it:
http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...ic.php?t=66107
On the main page you can create a link so that your foods are made public and we can look right at them.
If you choose to do this, please also include the percentages of fat/protein/carbs in the body of the message. It just makes it all that much easier for us to see what's going on...thanks!!

Okay, guess that was my answer. Sorry. Is there a way to delete a message that is so wrong like this??
