Week One
 

Two things I'm unsure of.......are you allowed to have mustard during Week One?

Also....I've heard different things about the lemon-pepper wings at wingstop. Are those okay week one?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

I used mustard in week 1 and continue to use it very often. I prefer the spicy brown kind. I use it alot of times mixed with my tuna instead of Mayo to save on calories and fat.

:welcome:

Mustard yes. Wings with skin or deep fried NO!

Thanks!

One more question about week one........are we allowed the Waldon Farms condiments? I remember my nutritionist telling me about them, but can't remember if they were okay for week one or just for later.

Thanks!

Yes you are as long as they are the ones that are zero calories,zero fat and zero carbs. Check the labels because some of their items do not fall into that calorie.

Good Luck on your first week.

Walden farms is ok for all stages

Thank you all for the info....

Now.......how does Waldon Farms taste???

Some things are ok. Others are awful. The chocolate syrup is delicious.

The marinara isn't bad if you add some of your own dry spices same with the scampi sauce.

There are better options for ketchup and BBQ sauce once you get a little further into the plan.

I was snooping and found this post on an Atkins forum. I can't tell if the lemon pepper wings would be okay? I know earlier I was told no, I have no idea if they have skin on them or not? I'm still in week one. Let me know what you think, and THANKS for all the information!

Yes, you can have the Waldon Farms condiments week 1, as see on the shopping list. Yes, only have the dressings that are labeled as zero calories. Obviously, it's not a "true" zero, as the number was rounded down. So be sure to stick with the serving size on the label. :clap:

Great question!
Mustard is a yes. Sorry I cannot answer about the wings I am unfamiliar them seeing that with we do not have that here in Rhode Island. Yes on the Walden Farms it is a great product just read the labels watch your sugars and carbs...pay attention to serving sizes as well

I have a few questions for my week 1. It is my understanding that this is a completely carb free week?

1. can i have sf/ff 0 carb 10 calorie jello??

2. I found that a lot of the 98% ff lunch meats have <1 carb in a serving...can i have these??

3. cottage cheese....i couldn't find any cottage cheese with out at least 2 carbs per serving...any suggestions?

4. I bought eggbeaters and they have 2g carbs per serving??

grrrr lol

help?

I was told that the cold meats are ok..same with cottage cheese & egg beaters. I was told no jell-o first week. Hope this helps.

oh no....i had 2 jello's yesterday....but honestly, are the whole 20 calories i ate going to make or break me?? I certainly hope not....I see jello as being my hero when it comes to wanting the BAD BAD stuff.

hmm well its day 2, the headache from last night is still aching but i can do this!

I will survive!

Jackie,

Try a EAS Advantedge protein drink (make sure it is the one that is 110 calories). It might help with the headache. My doctor specifically said I could have the sf ff jello the first week even though the materials she handed me said not to. She crossed that out. It might have been because I was working out regularly (and have been for years). She also put my protein calories to 700. I lost 10 pounds the first week, so it must not have hurt me too much. The important thing is to get into ketosis. If you are not after the 3rd or 4th day, you might want to cut the jello out.

I actually bought some of the eas advantedge drinks yesterday...i can still have that even though it has a couple carbs?

Thank you so much for the advice!!!

EAS AdvantEdge Carb
 

I just ordered the EAS AdvantEdge carb - 100 calories from Walgreens website. I am excited to try them. :-)

Jackie,

Read the Welcome Newbies thread. I and others posted a lot of good tips specifically to get through week 1.

Susie

Thank you! I was all over this board yesterday and I am very thankful for the helpful info!
