Help!! Couldn't find the Atkins book!

[PAdisMOM]

I went shopping last night at WAl-Mart. It's 1/2 hour away. I live in a really rural area.

Anyway, I had hoped to pick up Dr. Atkin's book before I start induction on Tues. It wasn't there!!! So I have a few questions for anybody that can help me.

Is Miracle Whip OK on induction? I know mayo is, but I can't find salad dressing (like MW) on the web site.

Are there any sugar free Italian dressings? Or do I use regular Italian dressing?

Thanks!

Miracle Whip has sugar. Read the salad dressing labels and choose one that is less than 1 gram of carbs per serving.

My husband loves Jardine's Bleu Cheese Vinaigrette dressing, it has 0 carbs per serving, but I make him count it as one carb

Blue cheese dressing usually has 0 carbs per serving too.

I ordered my Atkins book online. You might want to try that.

How are you feeling so far? Any withdrawal?

If you don't like plain mayo, then Miracle Whip is ok - just be sure to count the carbs. It's pretty low, so you'll be ok.

Just FYI, they do have the Atkins book at Target. I just bought it today. It was $9.xx. I am starting Atkins on June 2nd.

I think I saw Dr. Atkins book on Ebay1/2price .com- It was like $4.50 . You could oreder it from there!

I look at the label of everything I buy now, and it's amazing how many carbs things have. I just put them back on the shelf and try to make a better choice. After a while, you kind of learn which foods to stay away from.
