| If you're anything like I was when I first started Atkins, you're lost as far as grocery shopping. Below is a no-nonsense list of healthful low-carb foods. * Denotes foods safe after you've finished with the Initial 2-week Induction. Remember, at first, it's just the basics! As with all 4 phases of Atkins, feel free to incorporate organic fare, as well as healthy oils such as extra-virgin olive oil, organic unrefined coconut oil, organic macadamia nut oil, and more. Experiment & be creative! |
