think i may have made a booboo

[lucysmommy]

went for lunch with my mum

and i went for the feta salad

i asked what the dressing was and he said olive oil and herbs, i thought great - i will have that

so it was lettuce, cucumber, redonion and feta with the dressing

now firstly it was a very small portion and i mean very small lol

secondly - not sure about the red onion? is it allowed you are lucky if it was 1/5 of a small red onion

thirdly - upon eating the dressing, i could taste lemon, so i asked about it and he said "oh yeah there is some lemon juice in it as well"

will this completely throw me out of ketotis? i am not a happy atkins lady at the moment because of this

I actually have no idea! BUT if it were me, I wouldn't fret about it.... But then I'm not as strict as some.

on the atkins diet website, its says you can have lemon.....
I wish there was some kind of standardization on this flaming diet!

and if the Onion was that little I can't see that hurting much either LM

hun dont worry- I am sure a little lemon won't hurt- it's not like you had a whole glass of lemon juice right? xx

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

i remember adding lemon to my shopping list and jim said no....but im sure it was merely a squeeze and nothing else x

It's like everything else really, just count the carbs.
