natural stores)
have handy ham, and turkey slice and cheese ( look specially for mexican
cheese, it does not has carbs and is protein base ( albertsons and sams
club have it)
avocados, tuna cans or crab cans. use olive oil for cooking, buy atkins
cook book, or sugar busters or the protein diet. ( make cheescake with
stevia instead of sugar and for the crust use almonds or nuts in a food
procesor and add butter, put it in the freezer for 10 minutes and add
the cheese mixture and bake .) I hope all this help you ( check for
atkins diet ready to drink shakes to have on your car or handy when you
get hungry and can not eat.
