If your diet of choice is Atkins, there are some nifty freebie tools available at Atkins Tools - Weight Loss Tools - Atkins.com , including a carb-tracker and how-to-menu-plan. While we both embrace the Atkins way of eating, we do advise you to stick to real/whole foods and avoid low-carb "products" (including the Atkins stuff) during Induction.
