Does anyone have any suggested recipes / dishes that they found tasty and appropriate for this diet. Thanks. Sat Mar 01 10:49:55 -0800 2003 0 Jo 1 1592823 Try this for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Sat Mar 01 13:13:21 -0800 2003 1592823 0 Shaebones 3 1592844 One suggestion to liven things up, sprinkle balsamic vinegar over meats. You won't miss veggies quite as much... Sat Mar 01 23:08:29 -0800 2003 1592825 0 Red Volvo 4 1592873 But balsamic vinegar has 2.3 grams of carbohydrate per tablespoon. You can eat lots of veggies for 2.3 grams.

Mon Mar 03 13:41:57 -0800 2003 1592823 0 DeeDee 3 1592977 Thank God I'm not the only one who thought it sounded revolting. There is hope in this world! Mon Mar 03 18:15:50 -0800 2003 1592927 0 Amelia 4 1593023 This continues to be my favorite example of what is so very wrong with Atkins diet. Glad you enjoyed. Tue Mar 04 01:32:06 -0800 2003 1592977 0 Thea 5 1593042 Oh, thank you for saying that. I was afraid you were going to tell us how delicious it is. Tue Mar 04 09:15:48 -0800 2003 1593023 0 Caitlin McGrath 1 1592838 When dining out, Cobb salads do very nicely. Just watch the amount of avocado. Atkins book has a number of good recipes. Also, the site www.lowcarbluxury.com has very good recipes for things like substitute mashed potatoes (made with turnips). Their newsletter is also quite helpful. Good luck. I've lost twenty pounds without even feeling like I've been dieting! Sat Mar 01 19:58:33 -0800 2003 1592819 0 Bob Brooks 1 1592863 It pays to invest in a couple of good low-carb cookbooks. I recommend two great ones both written by Fran McCullough. Her first one was "The Low-Carb Cookbook" and the second "Living Low-Carb." They have many very good if not great recipes with a lot of tips and information that is helpful. Another good one is "500 Low-Carb Recipes" by Dana Carpender. They are all available at Amazon.com. The McCullough books can be found in most bookstores. The Low-Carb Luxury as mentioned by another poster is a great source for recipes, products, articles, discussions and a host of other subjects. There are a lot of low-carb sites. All of the above contain lots and lots of vegetable recipes and some fruit ones as well. Contrary to the misconceptions, low-carbers eat lots of veggies. We avoid the ones with starch until we reach our goal and then we gradually introduce them in moderation back into our daily eating plans. We limit the fruit at first, especially the ones with lots of sugar. Stick to it, you won't be sorry!!!

Tue Mar 04 10:29:09 -0800 2003 1592819 0 Caitlin Wheeler 1 1593087 I like an Australian site www.carb-lite.au.com. They have a lot of recipes with the carb counts although sometimes I think they are too good to be true. Don't let the nay-sayers get you down...it works. Tue Mar 04 13:03:17 -0800 2003 1592819 0 LizR
