My menu - Please tell me what you think!

So this is my 5th day on atkins! I feel great and have noticed much of my bloating has gone from the vacation I took to England.

I wanted to post my menu of the things I have been eating for some feed back. Please tell me what you think.

B: 2 fried eggs in olive oil 2 pieces of bacon (have yet to find nitrate free bacon, but I am looking!) Decaf americano with 1 splenda and 1 tablespoon cream. (Yes, I count the carbs in the cream and splenda)

L: 1 can tuna fish with mayo in a salad (1 cup spinach, 3 cut mushrooms, 5 olives, 4 slices of red pepper, cracked pepper and a little bit of crumbled cheedar cheese. It comes out to be about 6 carbs)

S: Some babybel full-fat cheese (I always count it as 1 carb even though it says it has none), 5 olives (1 carb) or perhaps 1 cup of pork-rinds if I am craving something crunchy (2 carbs for snack)

D: Lamb, chicken, cornish game hen...etc (0) with some veggies carefully measured out (Usually ends up being 5-6 carbs)

I also have been drinking so much water you wouldn't believe! At least 3-4 liters a day!

Anyway, please tell me what you think and I am always looking for snack ideas!

I think it looks good. Great on eating veggies, using fats and limiting sweeteners.
You have lost 11 pounds already? That is wonderful!
Snacks - I like veggies - especially jicama - nice and crunchy
On induction I liked olives and devilled eggs.
Cream cheese is one of my favourite treats.

I lost 11 pounds while I was calorie counting and then switched over to atkins because I have always been a carb addict and "fake" sugar and thought this would be an excellent way of taking that next step into healthy.

Little do people know, atkins is the best and healthiest diet plan out there! It takes all the chemicals, sugar, flour out! I use to use this 0 calorie butter spray and I didn't know half of the ingredience that went into it! Now I eat real butter that just has cream and salt!

That is so true. I think this is one thing I have learned from Atkins too. Eating so much cleaner and I am so much more aware of the strange chemicals that are added in all kinds of food.
