I'm coming to join you, swapping over from exante. I've done a lot of reading the last couple of weeks on atkins, it would be great if someone could read this over to make sure I'm doing it right though. I will be reading and rereading the book but you can't beat the voice of experience.
Is the 20g of carbs a day made up of my green leafy/other veg on the allowed list? Can I have a splash of soya milk in my tea (redbush which is naturally caffeine free)? I am reluctantly going to costco to buy a bag of decaff beans tonight, so giving up the proper stuff. I don't want to bend the rules in my swapover as I know I'm probably in for a regain or at least static couple of weeks so going to strictly stick to induction.
Today I was rushing out of the door as something last minute came up, I do normally eat breakfast but didn't. I had my smallest school play and my dad had decided to visit so had to pick him up from the station. Would someone tell me if my planned food is ok?
S: cube cheese & a bit of ham whilst prepping dinner for the girls
L: Half mattesons no carb smoked sausage, half cup mushrooms with garlic (garlic is ok isn't it?) and 2 scrambled eggs made with butter mmmm.
D: Steak, green herby salad (1/2 bag), maybe another 1/2cup of mushrooms and I might bake a camembert to drizzle over it, use the rest for dh's pasta.
Lots of redbush tea, lots of water, I'm already used to drinking a lot of fluid due to the VLCD.
