Hi, I have just started the atkins diet...I will shortly be starting day number 5 and so far so good. My problem is, while I eat fish, I just finished reading about mercury levels and how it is really only safe to eat at most 2 portions of fish a week. I've already eaten enough fish for a month according to that requirement. I want to lose weight, but I don't want to risk my health and reproductive health to do it. I really hope I haven't. Has anyone read about it....it's very scary!!
I guess what I'm wondering is can I eat a strict egg diet on atkins as my source of protein, at least during induction? And then hopefully I'll be able to add in some tofu and other fake meat substitutes? Is anyone on this board a vegetarian or know of one who is on the atkins diet?

Also, any egg recipies? I have a feeling I'm going to need some new and inventive ways to do eggs.

Thank you so much!!
