Newbie- needs advice

[juliebags]

Hi everyone
I am new to atkins, started yesterday. I need some advice i bought some hellmans fullfat mayo is this ok to put on salads?? I am doing the induction and emailed them to ask if protein powder was ol they said yes as long as no added sugar, i noticed their shakes have more than the powders but can also be used, confused! I struggle with breakfast so my plan was to have a shake made with soya or almond milk-there is a recipe in the atkins book- has anyone tried protein shakes?? Will it affect loss??? Sorry so many questions thanks for any advice xxxxx

Hi Julie - Welcome to Atkins. Yes on the full fat mayo the diet has more carbs.

Sorry can't help with protein powder I've never had it, but I have very occasionally use the atkins shakes for breakfast when I working and not in the mood to eat or cook breakfast. I'm sure someone will jump in with more info

Thanks coffeelover,
Things can get abit confusing especially when ur so used to everything being low fat it goes against the grain, did try alpro unsweetened soya milk in tea - quite suprised it was not too bad, i am following the new atkins new you , so i hope all the original die hard atkiners will not frown upon the shakes & bars i hope they will be a godsend when at work, any advice appreciated xxx

Certainly won't be frowned upon. Just read the sticky's they have lots of good info and drink lots of water. x
