re: 1st week of Atkins diet. Need suggestions.

Atkins works, you just need to limit your red meat and try to watch your sodium intake, drink as much water as possible and take a multi vitamin designed for seniors, it has no iron supplements, you will get your daily iron levels from all the protein you consume.

I normally have deli turkey and a slice of cheese for breakfast, lunch normally consists of a chicken ceaser salad and dinner is either chicken or some sort of seafood with plenty of vegetables, broccoli, asparagus and spinach salad.

You can also buy a rotisserie chicken for the store, I normally shred the chicken and add olive oil with some jerk chicken seasoning. I also buy low carb whole wheat tortillas, that have 3 net carbs per tortilla and make steak, chicken quesadillas.

It's very easy to follow but drink plenty of water.
