Five Days of Induction Menus...

For those who keep asking for menu ideas during induction, here are some of mine:

Day 1

• B: 2 eggs hard fried in a 1 TBSP butter, with 1 oz. shredded cheese melted on top
• L: Cheeseburger w/o bun; mustard only; Small garden salad with full-fat ranch dressing
• Snack:Celery stalks with cream cheese
• Supper: Roast Beef with celery, onion, mushrooms, and steamed green beans.

Day 2

• B: Flax-O-Meal hot cereal with SteviaPlus, 2 TBSP butter, and a little heavy cream
• L: Chicken Caesar salad: I make my own -- I buy a rotisserie hen from the grocery store and tear off as much white meat as I can eat. Add Romaine lettuce, a few black olives, shredded, FRESH parmesan cheese, and "Newman's Own" Caesar salad dressing.
• Snack: Small handful of pecans and 2 mozzarella cheese sticks
• Supper: Big, juicy steak drizzled with lots of melted butter; salad

Day 3

• B: 1 sausage patty with 1 scrambled egg
• L: Turkey and cheese roll-up: Take a large lettuce leaf and roll up fresh, thin-sliced turkey, and your favorite cheese. A little mayo and/or mustard is good with this, too.
• Snack: 3 Deviled (stuffed)eggs
• Supper: Roast chicken or rotisserie hen with asparagus sauteed in butter (yum!)

Day 4

• B: Flax-O-Meal hot cereal with SteviaPlus (or Splenda), butter, and cream
• L: Cream-roast rolls: slices of roast beef wrapped around cream cheese; fresh broccoli dipped in full-fat ranch dressing
• Snack: 2 oz. kefir cheese with 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil (on OWL, you can spread this on a Ryevita cracker)
• Supper: Taco salad -- no beans, chips, or rice. I eat mine: seasoned beef, lettuce, cheese, few tomatoes, onion, olives, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Day 5

• B: Atkins' ready-to-drink shake
• L: Chicken salad on a bed of lettuce
• Snack: 1/2 avocado topped with sour cream
• Supper: Shish ka bob: Grilled beef, chicken, or shrimp with green and red peppers, onion, fresh mushrooms, and one cherry tomato.
