BREAKFAST & BRUNCH DISHES – Starting the day with a low-carb breakfast means the body will continue to burn primarily fat, including body fat, for energy. But does breakfast on Atkins mean having eggs morning after morning? No way! Go beyond scrambled eggs withSpicy Pecan Pancakes, Ginger-Spice Muffins, Cheddar-Dill Scones, and even a Mocha Smoothie.
SNACKS, APPETIZERS & HORS D’OEUVRES – Smart snacking can actually help with losing (or maintaining) weight. The ideal snack is low in carbs, but has enough protein and fat to make you feel pleasantly full. Great choices include Spicy Black Bean Dip, Cheese-Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes, Lime-Chili Grilled Wings, and other satisfying bites.
VEGETABLES & OTHER SIDES – Nutrient-rich veggies are core carbohydrates in the Atkins lifestyle. Add variety with 30 low-carb upgrades such as Green Beans with Lemon and Cumin and Spaghetti Squash with Cinnamon-Spice Butter.
CHICKEN & TURKEY ENTRÉES – Whether part of a fast weeknight supper, a luncheon salad, or a holiday feast, poultry is always versatile and satisfying. Dishes include Thai Chicken Curry, Chicken and Apple Sausage Patties, and Mexican-Style Turkey Meatloaf.
BEEF, PORK, LAMB & VEAL ENTRÉES – Meat is often the centerpiece of meals and a primary source of protein, whether a simple grilled steak, succulent pork chops, or elegant veal roast. Savor Skirt Steak with Chimichurri Sauce, Beef and Asian Vegetable Stir Fry,Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Maple-Mustard Sauce, and more.
FISH & SHELLFISH ENTRÉES – Fish provide a host of nutritional benefits, supplying omega-3 fats, protein, B vitamins, and more. Getting the recommended two to three servings a week is easy with mouth-watering choices like Almond-Crusted Catfish Fingers, Swordfish Kebabs with Scallions, and Maryland Steamed Crabs.
VEGETARIAN ENTRÉES – Proof that a low-carb lifestyle is not synonymous with meat—and that vegetarian food can taste great—includes Scrambled Tofu Burritos, Tempeh-Roasted Cauliflower and Peppers with Curried Cashew Sauce, and Tomato and Leek Gratin with Gruyère and Walnuts.
