Newbie looking for recipes?

Will be starting diet on Monday, so any induction related ideas would be
most helpful. Thanks

Google this group for "rec"

The FAQ has a lot of links too.

http://www.camacdonald.com/lc/LowCarbohydrateCooking-Recipes.htm A
lot of the recipes are from the people in this group, past and
present. They're quite good.

Just hit Google and type in "low carb recipes".

There are hundreds of places. I've forgotten which I used to go to.

There are dozens of low carb recipe books on clearance now. For a few
bucks, you can pick up some good ones.

There was one by Atkins and his wife that I found quite good.

I actually now stick to simple recipes, those in the cookbooks are a
little fancier and often take more time than I want to spend.

SALAD
Meat course
Fresh or frozen vegetables

Dessert, sometimes but simple.

fruit with/without whipped cream
Something on a fiber cracker (WASA crispbread) like flavored peanut
butter and a smidge of sugar free preserves.

There are recipes posted here many days, and there have been a ton of
them in the past. Search on groups.google.com for
"alt.support.diet.low-carb steak grilled", for example. Also,
whatever low-carb plan you're following (since you mentioned
induction, I assume you have an Atkins book) almost certainly includes
a bunch of recipes and meal plans with it. Feel free to share any you
come up with, too. I've also picked up several low-carb cookbooks at
thrift stores for $1 or less.

Aside from actual recipes, you can improvise. Cook some meat, put it
on a plate, put some green leafy vegetables next to it, and eat. Vary
the meat between steak, burgers, pork chops, ham, brats, and fish; and
the vegetable between lettuce, broccoli, asparagus, summer squash, and
swiss chard. Combine those different ways, and you've got dozens of
different meals right there. (Melt butter over everything, of
course.)

I've also decided I need a "default meal." One thing that gets me in
trouble is when I'm hungry but "nothing sounds good" and I don't have
a meal planned. That's when I start to get tempted to blow off one
meal. To head that off, I've decided my default meal is now four
fried eggs. That way, if I'm hungry and looking around the kitchen
and nothing sounds good, I already have a plan of action: I turn the
skillet on, drop in four eggs, wait five minutes, eat them, and get on
with my life.

I would add some bacon to those eggs, I love bacon.
