For full information and detailed program information on the Atkins Nutritional Aproach (ANA) visit www.atkins.com. For your convenience, below you will find links to the lists of foods that you are allowed to eat during each of the four phases of the Atkins Nutritional Lifestyle. I try to indicate in all my recipe narratives whether a dish is or is not acceptable for Induction, but I’m human and occasionally fail to do that. These handy links will help you make decisions as you read my recipes

* Please note that the Phase 2 OWL foods list has an error. It states you can have ¾ cup of heavy cream, but it should read 3-4 tablespoons heavy cream daily! I hope the Atkins site webmasters can correct that typo soon.
Dear Linda, when you started on your low carb journey, did you do it the “Atkins” way moving through the various phases? Thank you, Patricia
I see you found the About Me and My Journey pages, Patricia. Welcome to my website! Just so you know, I’m a Peggy, not a Linda. A Freudian slip, no doubt. LOL Linda Sue’s site is the OTHER great low-carb site that is simply a WONDERFUL low-carb information and recipe resource.
Yes, I followed the Atkins program/phases as spelled out in the 2002 edition of the book.
Thank god I came to your website! I wondered about that heavy cream amount and thought to myself…3/4 of a cup? Thats a LOT of cream, lol! Thanks for clarifying:-)

Awesome website!
Welcome Ann. Hope you’ll visit often. And I’m glad I could clarify that official Atkins website error for you. Don’t know why they haven’t gotten around to fixing that error yet, as we have pointed it out numerous times.
