You can't have yogurt with fruit and sugar in it, but you can have the plain
yogurts and those low-carb yogurts. Yes, you can have avocados. And you
can eat anything you can eat for breakfast.

Do some work on your own.

Yes, sorry. I don't live in the US so it's not that easy to find the book.

Thanks for your help! I am used to eating plain yogurt so that's okay. I've
looked at the atkins site. will do some more of that.

A google groups search of this newsgroup should turn up some
interesting, recent yogurt threads. I eat yogurt almost everyday.

I never ate yogurt until starting LC. Now I have 1/2 cup plain yogurt
every morning, either in a smoothie or mixed with an equal part water and a
little Splenda poured over LC cereal.

You could eat unlimited eggs, sausage, bacon for breakfast. You can
have most cheeses. You can get sample menus if you don't want to buy
Atkins stuff if you need more exotic meals like pankakes somehow made
out of pork rinds instead of flour at websites like
http://www.lowcarb.ca/recipes/breakfast.html

Yogurt and avocadoes aren't in the spirit of an Atkins diet but you
could have a measured amount of them if you have to after you're done
with induction.

Thanks Rosie, that was very interesting.

Avocados are perfect Atkins food, where did you get that idea. Not from
Atkins:

Nothing wrong with plain yoghurt, the zingier the better. The carbs in
the milk are consumed by the culture and turned into lactic acid. Watch
out for the pre-sweetened ones, though.

You'll probably want to learn to read the back of packages in order to low
carb effectively.

I think they're excellent.

And what's wrong with omelets, bacon & eggs, or quiche for breakfast? Or
chicken breast or salad or....?

I don't think so! Even Atkins says you should only eat until you're not
hungry. You're not supposed to stuff yourself. Calories still count.

Since when aren't yoghurt and avocadoes "in the spirit of an Atkins diet?"
Both are low-carb, and yoghurt can be made high-fat if one wants.

You'll find copies of the book in: Smiths, Dillons, The Works (at a big
discount), at Amazon, on ebay etc - pretty much eveywhere they sell books!

Which reminds me of my personal favorite yogurt concoction! Makes a
good dessert or light lunch or breakfast or mid-afternoon snack
or...whatever!

Mix:
1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen...I like frozen best)
1/4 cup low carb cereal (or 2 tbsp. Gram's granola...this is THE best!)
1/2 cup plain yogurt (Stoneyfield Farms, whole milk, is my favorite)
2 tsp. vanilla (or other flavor of choice) DaVinci SF syrup

Aloha...Sue

Try ordering the book from an online book source that you may have available
in the country you live in.

Low carbing. In the US you seem to have this ridiculous trend going where
you eat artificial pancakes made out of pork rind or something. That is too
much. I don't care if it's scientifically proven to be healthy, it's too
weird and unnatural. Also, I will never find low carb cereal here in Europe!

it's all been hashed out here numerous times - you just didn't look very
far. what makes me irritable is people who don't try to help
themselves.
