Aren't sprouts carby am I allowed them on induction? B Atkins breakfast bar ( oh go on shout at me !) L salami boiled egg green leaves cucumber mayo D chicken stuffed mozzarella abd chorizo spinach fried in butter and asparagus with garlic mayo S pepperami Ex cardio with a tad running then resistance and abs good hour and quarter exercise.

Anyone got a tomato sauce substitute please or something tomatoey I can have on induction?

Morning Vicky

Well done on the exercise and consider this your official shout re the atkins bar. Seriously dreadful things and especially for breakfast. Whatever they claim, it will potentially give you an insulin kick and cause trouble with both appetite and weight loss. If people have to have one then better as a dessert snack after a decent protein/fat meal!

Re tomatoes - not allowed in induction on earlier versions of atkins but included later in moderation. I gave up first time but not now but i tend to make things far less tomatoey so worth changing the habit.
If you do use - try cooking with a few cherry toms rather than a very carby tin of toms
Also you can get a sugar free ketchup from low carb megastore
If need to use tinned toms, look at the labels on supermarket value ranges - juice is usually much thinner & they are lower in carbs
For a sauce - find a lowish carb tomatoe puree (i think gaia had one but check) and mix with mayo

Thanks Katie will make do with half a beef tomato on my burgers at the weekend.

My issue with breakfast is I feel sick if I eat before I leave for work hence ease of the bars. Weight not down agaibbut am persevering I'm sure my body is getting used to no carbs !

Well done on brekkie

I'm the same, can't eat first thing or I feel sick too. I make a whole load of muffins up on the weekend and freeze them in batches of three, bring them out the night before and zap them in my microwave before I leave the house. That way I can have them with my morning coffee at work (no microwave there).

 

[Kat1e]

Hooray - great brekkie

Evening all ! Just sat down after lovely dinner. With my glass of wine. Hubby is having beer and I'm being good !!!! Did hour at the gym managed to run for five mins without stopping.
