Cauliflower, onion, …
Cauliflower, onion, cabbage, and Broccoli are in the “Other” vegetable category, so 1 cup per day on Induction. When you get to the OWL phase, you can increase your intake to your CCLL. (Watch the OWL video for when that is.)

Hi. I just want to …
Hi. I just want to thank you for your posts and your success. I made this recipe for myself and discovered that you’re absolutely right, it’s comfort food. Yesterday, I was in enormous need of comfort, and I turned to your soup. It worked. I had a successful day. I did not break my diet, did not binge. I’ve lost about 50 pounds since the first of the year, following Atkins, but keeping it low fat. Your success gives me hope, because I have another 100 to go.

I often use a heavy cream from a local dairy, but in a pinch, I’ll buy heavy whipping cream from Wal-mart.

thanks…not trying …
thanks…not trying to be a pain…it is SO good. I think part of my issue is I was overeating and would get so mad and the yo yo dieting wrecked my metabolisim. I read Atkins New Revolution front to back and found where I was messing up. Hope it is salvagable..I am measuring now and teaching myself to recognize hunger and boredom. I was in a bad accident and on crutches for 11 months and develpoed bad habits. Never, ever again.

The recipe makes about 8 servings, so the Calorie and gram information is per divided piece. It will actually be a little smaller than a cup.

I don’t personally …
I don’t personally agree with bar/shake approach. I have seen too many stall and fail after eating the stuff. It might be good for a once in awhile convenience food, but it shouldn’t be an every day thing. I would however count the full amount of carbs against my daily count (not the promoted net effective carbs).

Thank you so much …
Thank you so much for these videos. My question for you is, I bought these atkins shakes/bars to begin my induction phase only to find out that they may cause my weight loss to stall. I ended up throwing them out. What is your opinion of these supplement: is it a money making gimic?

The pizza episode …
The pizza episode is one of the “lost” episodes or a video whose sound quality was so poor that I couldn’t post it. The recipe is pretty simple. It’s like 3 eggs, half cup heavy cream, Italian Seasoning, TBS Grated Parm, garlic powder blended well poured over 8 oz of Mozzarella Cheese. Cook for 30 minutes or until light brown.
Cover with no sugar pizza sauce (Ragu) and toppings of choice, and 2-3 oz of cheese.

Yes you can have up to 2 or 3 TBS of cream per day, which this recipe servings are well within. Everything else on the recipe list is also found on the Induction Acceptable Foods List.
