I don't have access to many foods in my house or stores near me. I have access to eggs, cereal, cheese, steaks, milk,tuna,yogurts and lettice. Thats not much but any suggestions on a food plan? Im thinking 2 boiled eggs for breakfast....thats enough for me. Ive also read about cereal with water...never heard of that but i could give it a try

For lunch what could i make? Im not a salad freak or vegetable freak but i do like lettice and raw onions. I can eat little since i can stop myself from food pretty easily. Just enough to get by until dinnertime.


And for dinner i can eat steak with butter? Ive read about that but what kind of steak do i want to buy? Or maybe something that involved yogurt is good. I also like canned tuna.

Im asking these questions because i would like your feedback. Right now im going to start my research on it while i wait for your thoughts on it. Thanks

John, your best bet is to get the Atkins book and read it. (I noticed on your introduction that you were interested in Atkins.) There are menu suggestions there, and the rules of the diet -- what you can have and what you can't. There are also recipes and some suggested menus.

Cereal (with or without water) is high in carbs, so is yogurt. It's going to be much easier if you start off right than find out, through trial and error, that some of the meals you've become attached to don't work

Here's a link to a site with two weeks of induction menus:

But please, the net is no substitute for the book.

Best of luck to you. You might also want to read through some of the journals for menu plans, as well as the recipes on this site. There's an orange bar across the top of the site. Click on the Low Carb Tips for some basic info about low carb that's very helpful in starting out.

Good luck to you
