What Foods can I Eat on Induction?
Additionally, you can 20 grams of carbohydrate a day.
You can eat two to three cups of salad a day comprised of the particular vegetables Dr. Atkins specifies, which include (but are not limited to): escarole, fennel, radicchio, cucumber, lettuce, and mushrooms. You may garnish your salads with certain toppings such as bacon bits, grated cheese, and hard-boiled egg.
If you choose to consume two cups of salad (rather than three), you can add another cup of vegetables from a different list. Those include artichokes, snow peas, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, and many others.
It's definitely a misconception that Atkins lacks variety considering all the different vegetables available on this list. The key is to keep your portion in check (1 cup) and to remember to cut your salad back to two cups so you can have them.
The reason these vegetables are more limited is because they are slightly higher in carbohydrate content than the salad vegetables.
