Assuming you follow the meal plan to the letter, this short shopping list enables you to have everything at hand to get a week's worth of meals on the table. If you're not using Atkins products, simply adjust the list. Likewise, if you modify the meal plan, you'll need to make comparable changes to the shopping list.

The first meal plan incorporates a number of Atkins frozen meals, as well as our bars and shakes. It requires only twenty-four common ingredients, a number of which you probably already have in your fridge, pantry, or freezer, saving you time both shopping and cooking. The second meal plan includes more made-from-scratch meals and therefore more ingredients. You can also mix the two plans, relying on more Atkins frozen meals on days when time is at a premium or
substituting Atkins bars or shakes for snacks or breakfast when you're on the run.
