So I am doing Atkins and am losing weight for the first time in a very long time. Right now I am on induction which means zero sugar, no grains and no fruit. So far in the last six days, I have lost six pounds. It has been great! I feel amazing and have so much energy-
but watching everyone eat blueberry muffins on Easter was hard. I found this recipe on one of the Atkins boards. It can be made in the microwave or in the oven (one minute vs seventeen minutes) and it is pretty good! I am impressed!
Muffin in a Minute
allowed on Induction
Serving Size: 1
1/4 cup flax meal (8.09 total carbs, 7.6 fiber)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (0.64 net carbs)
1 packet splenda packet (0.9 net carbs)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (1.84 total carbs, 1.2 fiber)
1 large egg (0.6 net carbs)
1 teaspoon butter
(total carbs is 12.07, fiber is 8.8; net carbs is 3.27)
Put the dry ingredients in a coffee mug.
Stir.
Then add the egg and the butter. Mix.
Microwave 1 minute (or more). Take out. slice, butter, eat.
Cream cheese would go nicely, too.
The shape of this can be changed by making it in a bowl.
It can be "toasted" once it`s cooked

HEy Alee
I will PM you a list of recipes. I have low carbed on & off, it really does work, but I always go off at some point.
Many of these recipes were from a board Suzanne Somers had. Her diet was very similar to Atkins, but you were allowed to have carb only meals; they had to be timed right, spaced out from Pro-fat meals. These gals came up with some great recipes. There is even one for hamburger buns! Also, if you can find a copy of a few of her books "Fast & Easy" &"Eat Cheat & Melt the Fat Away", they have some good recipes. She also had a cookbook that readers put together & that has an awesome recipe for Mexican cornbread with pork rinds. SOunds gross but it is very good
Low carbing can be very healthy if done correctly. As long as you don't eat 2 lbs of bacon, & a lb of cheese a day
YOu really need to eat a ton of veggies
Good luck! You are inspiring me to try it again.
I will find the word file & email you |

Thanks for the email, Lisa! I haven't gotten a chance to look over them yet. I have to be really careful to stay in line with the Atkins diet since it is working so well for me! Just under 7 pounds lost in 8 days! I am so thrilled! I can't wait to see how much I have lost by the end of the month. I would really like it to be 15 pounds- I desperatly need to get healthy again!
