a question about the Atkins diet

[camper]

I've been thinking about giving this diet a try. I already have some problems with low bloodsugar so this may be good for me. One thing I've been wondering about is what do you eat for breakfast every morning. I can't imagine not having cereal or bagels or pancakes etc. I do love omelets but don't have time to cook them every morning! So what do you have for breakfast?

Atkins now has bagels, pancake mix and cereal. I had a bagel with cream cheese the other day. I haven't tried the cereal yet. I try not to eat those things too often because I don't lose as well when I do.

During induction I ate bacon with a hard boiled egg or cheese most mornings. I got the pre-cooked microwave kind. Now I mostly eat yogurt for breakfast. Blue Bunny Lite 85 or Kroger Lite yogurt are both sweetened with Splenda.

Every once in a while I'll have a bowl of oatmeal or a slice of low carb bread. This morning I had a sausage McMuffin with egg, no bun.

My dh is diabetic and controls his blood sugar very well with Atkins.

I had leftover chicken from last night breaded with Keto crumbs. Yesterday, I had Atkins cereal. It is surprisingly good and filling even when you are eating only 2/3 cup.

I also like the Keto "oatmeal" and Low Carb Success flaxseed cereal.

I sometimes have eggs for breakfast, but I've been known to eat leftover whatever from the previous night's dinner.

I also keep Atkins shakes and breakfast bars on hand for when there is absolutely no time for anything else.

LisaTX,
Thank you for posting the information on Blue Bunny Yogurt - I have been craving yogurt!

I am not a big breakfast eater, but a slice of leftover meat, an egg, or smoked salmon wrapped around a little cream cheese are all good breakfast foods.

For breakfast each morning, I have a Ham and cheese omelet...Yummy! Not much variety in my breakfast but that is because I love omelets and could each them for each meal!

I was a huge bread lover before I started Atkins, but honestly I don't even miss them...(okay, well I do, but not enough to have one!)...anyway, like Lisa said, they have low carb tortillas, bagels, bread, ect now, so I don't even miss regular bread at all anymore! It is great!

Good Luck if you decide to try Atkins!! We will all be here ready to support you on whatever you decide!!

My son was bored with omelets so I started making him the Atkins pancakes. He can't WAIT to get up every morning. Make a batch and just reheat them the next morning. He eats them with just butter but there are some awesome low carb no sugar syrups out there.

Sometimes I eat leftovers from the night before just because it's there! Those parmesan crusted chicken tenders are AWESOME the next day!
