Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 So, I have a couple of questions about what I can eat on the induction phase. (1) Can I have pepperoni or not? Yes, but read the labels some are worse than others. (2) Can I have turkey "soup" (leftover problem...) if all it has is broth and meat? Yes again okay to add a carrot, right? a carrot is okay but you must count the carbs (3) What's the deal with olives? I like to make this minced olive spread like they put on muffeletta sandwiches in new orleans. I thought I could make some of that and eat it with my ham and turkey (sans bread) but how many are safe in the induction phase? Again just count the carbs on the olives, ie read labels Ü (4) You can't eat the Atkins "bars" during induction, right?

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 >> The thing is, I am nursing my baby and plan to continue doing so for at least a year. Thanks for any advice and encouragement. I REALLY need a lot of help to stay motivated. That's why I figured I would join a list on DAY ONE. >> , This a great list to be on. Welcome!!! I started Atkins plan when I was nursing my (then) 6 month old a year and 1/2 ago. I have a 4 year old and a 1 1/2 year old. Now I am pregnant again (SURPRISE!) and trying my hardest to stay LC. I am doing really well and am glad you have your encouragement of your family and OB. This WOE really does work. There is a group on egroups for those moms who are PG and/or nursing and following a LC plan. I would suggest joining that list as well. BTW, I am starting induction today as i indulged on too many sweets this weekend while we were away. Good luck! Dawn in SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to stay at 20 or fewer carbs for 14 days....bookmark this sight, it is the best carb/nutrition counter I have found and has everything!!! http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl >(4) You can't eat the Atkins " bars " during induction, right? Nope, too many hidden carbs, and you will (after induction) want to see how you react to them and see if they will stall you... > >Thanks for any advice and encouragement.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 Pepperoni ( and other spicy foods)while breast feeding may give your baby gas, but you have to try it for yourself to determine what will happen.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2000 Report Share Posted November 27, 2000 The thing is, I am > nursing my baby and plan to continue doing so for at least a year. Good for you!!!! Nursing uses up lots of calories so be sure to eat a ton and drink lots and lots and lots of water. I > have read mixed things about dieting while nursing (not to mention > doing a low-carb diet while nursing). But my OB said that a high > protein diet showed the best weight loss outcome for nursing moms. He > just told me not to restrict calories... > > So, I have a couple of questions about what I can eat on the induction > phase. I am not the advice expert but Pepperoni is ok if you don't go nuts. Carrots are not a great choice. Green beans or turnips (my new favorite), mushrooms, cauliflower, cabbage or broccoli are good choices. Olives are great if you watch the quantity. Do share the minced olive recipe if you would. Atkins bars cause a lot of people to stall. I eat half of one once in a great while. in Ca. > (1) Can I have pepperoni or not? > (2) Can I have turkey " soup " (leftover problem...) if all it has is > broth and meat? okay to add a carrot, right? > (3) What's the deal with olives?
