is yogurt a bad idea?

[Katie]

I know, I know, I should buy the book, but I am not convinced that this is
the type of diet I need. What will I eat for breakfast if I can't have
yogurt? And what about avocados? Are they ok?

Thanks
Katie

You can't have yogurt with fruit and sugar in it, but you can have the plain
yogurts and those low-carb yogurts. Yes, you can have avocados. And you
can eat anything you can eat for breakfast.

Do some work on your own.

Yes, sorry. I don't live in the US so it's not that easy to find the book.

Thanks for your help! I am used to eating plain yogurt so that's okay. I've
looked at the atkins site. will do some more of that.

A google groups search of this newsgroup should turn up some
interesting, recent yogurt threads. I eat yogurt almost everyday.

I never ate yogurt until starting LC. Now I have 1/2 cup plain yogurt
every morning, either in a smoothie or mixed with an equal part water and a
little Splenda poured over LC cereal.

You could eat unlimited eggs, sausage, bacon for breakfast. You can
have most cheeses. You can get sample menus if you don't want to buy
Atkins stuff if you need more exotic meals like pankakes somehow made
out of pork rinds instead of flour at websites like
http://www.lowcarb.ca/recipes/breakfast.html

Yogurt and avocadoes aren't in the spirit of an Atkins diet but you
could have a measured amount of them if you have to after you're done
with induction.

Nothing wrong with plain yoghurt, the zingier the better. The carbs in
the milk are consumed by the culture and turned into lactic acid. Watch
out for the pre-sweetened ones, though.

You'll probably want to learn to read the back of packages in order to low
carb effectively.

>And what about avocados? Are they ok?

I think they're excellent.

And what's wrong with omelets, bacon & eggs, or quiche for breakfast? Or
chicken breast or salad or....?

I don't think so! Even Atkins says you should only eat until you're not
hungry. You're not supposed to stuff yourself. Calories still count.

Since when aren't yoghurt and avocadoes "in the spirit of an Atkins diet?"
Both are low-carb, and yoghurt can be made high-fat if one wants.

Which reminds me of my personal favorite yogurt concoction! Makes a
good dessert or light lunch or breakfast or mid-afternoon snack
or...whatever!

Mix:
1/4 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen...I like frozen best)
1/4 cup low carb cereal (or 2 tbsp. Gram's granola...this is THE best!)
1/2 cup plain yogurt (Stoneyfield Farms, whole milk, is my favorite)
2 tsp. vanilla (or other flavor of choice) DaVinci SF syrup

Actually I looked for the answer on the atkins website and didn't find it.

Sorry if it takes too much out of you to answer a question why do you even
read them? Oh boy, I think I'll go back to my other support group where
people are friendlier. What is it about low carbing? It makes people
irritable?

Low carbing. In the US you seem to have this ridiculous trend going where
you eat artificial pancakes made out of pork rind or something. That is too
much. I don't care if it's scientifically proven to be healthy, it's too
weird and unnatural. Also, I will never find low carb cereal here in Europe!

the atkins website isn't the final word on what is or isn't low carb.

it's all been hashed out here numerous times - you just didn't look very
far. what makes me irritable is people who don't try to help
themselves.

As someone who has read Dr. Atkins' NDR twice, I don't have a problem with
"simple" questions like these in the NG. And the OP *is* trying to help
herself - she asked the question!

I like to read all of the posts in the NG - from the complicated body
metabolism posts to the "can I eat eggs?" posts. Yes, they've all been
discussed before, but it's much like how folks go to church every Sunday and
sing the same hymns and read the same gospels. Keeps people on track. I
doubt that when someone asks a question in church, that people roll their
eyes and say "read the bible - we've been over this already!" Especially if
someone is new to their way of thinking, and asking a genuine question.

Don't judge what really goes on in the U.S. by what the media reports. I've
been low carbing for 14 months and haven't eaten any artificial pancakes,
breads, wraps, pizzas, etc. I have had some LC cereal but that's no more
fake than other cereals, it just uses different grains. Many people here
have posted their own recipes for LC cereals, so you can make it yourself.

Not everyone does this. I've been low carbing for several years now,
and have yet to eat a single pork rind during that time frame. I
never cared for pork rinds anyway.

A common (sense) denominator with most nutritious eating plans is
increasing fresh food consumption, and cutting back on boxed or
convenience foods. _Successful_ low carbing as a lifestyle is no
different.

One can eat very well on an LC plan with fresh ingredients and a bit
of basic food preparation. So trust your instincts and don't concern
yourself that some of the 'trendy' LC products aren't available in
Europe. You're better off without that stuff anyway. Most everything
one needs to eat properly can be found in the produce, meat, and dairy
sections.

You may find you don't want cereals anymore after starting a LC plan.
Tastes and cravings change.

In any case, do a google groups search on ASDLC for 'flaxseed'. Some
people make their own cereals.

If you keep your calories low enough you can eat anything, carbs or no carbs.

You probably lose more weight with the less calories, but there are
people who have lost 100 lbs while eating a prodigious amount of bacon
or ham each morning.

Avocadoes are allowed, but you have to count them. You can have 1/2
avocado "guilt free" while on induction. You are told to avoid yoghurt
while on induction. You can have it afterward but you have to count
the carbs.

You cannot have avocados in unlimited quantity, you have to count the
carbs. They suggest 1/2 avocado being guilt-free during induction.
Avocados are the favorite among fruits though according to the
atkins.com as you point out. Maybe you are overstating slightly when
you call it the perfect Atkins food, maybe they are the perfect Atkins
fruit and no doubt they are.

True, but the advantage of the Atkins diet is that whenever you are
hungry you can have something substantial, not water and celery
sticks, as long as it is without carbs and you will lose weight.

Induction is a tiny portion of the Atkins plan.

Someone from France talking about weird food in the US. Nevermind,
I'm not going there...

You seem to have some interesting ideas about what people in the
United States are like. I eat eggs almost every morning, and
sometimes I have bacon or yogurt or a 1/4 of a cantaloupe, too. I'd
probably spew if someone offered me a pork-rind pancake.
