Anyone on induction at the mo? Please can you give me a menu for what you eat in an average day? Including drinks. Am hoping to start next week, and have ordered my books!!!

If you're just starting then stick to basic whole foods. For example:

B: 3 eggs scrambled with cheese
L: ceasar salad with grilled chicken
D: hamburger w/o the bun and a veggie

S: slice of cheese or hard boiled egg or brocolli dipped in ranch

Water, water, water!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also drink diet coke and used to do crystal light, but now I drink lots of pure water.

Some people stall with artificial sweeteners-

breakfast: usually, protein shake, 2 scoops Fuzzy Navel Nectar mixed with diet Oceanspray orange flavor and benefiber.

lunch: shrimp or chicken breast or some other protein on large bed of salad greens, with Newman's Own Family Recipe Italian dressing.

dinner: 3-4 oz protein with green vegetable, butter

snack: 2 cups Calorie Countdown 2% milk (1 cup each, 2 x per day)

I just made my first batch of revolution rolls (see thread on the Atkins 72 forum) last night. I had two of them for breakfast this morning, warmed up, with butter on them. They were kinda like pancakes. I'm trying them as a sandwich with some chicken for lunch today instead of the salad. I probably should eat the salad, anyway.

I drink lots of water, one bottle caffeine-free Diet Coke daily, occasional crystal light.

Hi! I'm on Induction---day 7. I agree with ASmallerME---stick to whole, non-processed foods. I usually just drink plain old water becasue I've found that those Crystal Light packets cause me to crave sweets. I think it's the aspartame that does it. A sample menu for me would be:

Breakfast: 2 eggs and 2 pieces of turkey bacon (turkey bacon is processed, so limit the amount)
Lunch: Grilled chicken salad with olive oil and vinegar or the previous night's leftovers
Dinner: Some sort of meat (chicken, beef, pork or fish) with a vegetable and/or salad.
I'm not usually too hungry for snacks, but when I am, I'll have string cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers in vinegar with salt and pepper, or a small can of tuna. Dinners don't have to be boring. Just check out the recipie page and use your imagination. For instance, the other night I was in teh mood for mexican so I browned some ground meat with taco seasoning, then put it into a baking dish, covered it with grated chedder and baked it just long enough to melt the cheese. Then, I took it out and spread homeade guacamole and a little sour cream and just had a little bowl of it. If you want veggies with that, you could add shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes. Good luck with Induction. YOU CAN DO IT!
