That's great, suviko! Welcome to Atkins! I've lost 26 lbs in about 4 months.
For your first two weeks, it's all about fat and protein. There's actually a list of acceptable foods during the Induction phase. <a href="http://atkins.com/Archive/2001/12/15-464579.html">See the List</a>.
This diet is really a process, not a menu. After your two week Induction period, you start adding foods back into your diet, one by one and category by category, until you're eating a very well-balanced (though still low-carb) diet.
This morning I had 3 slices of bacon, 3 eggs, and a cup of cottage cheese. For lunch I had 2 bratwurst and a big spinach caesar salad. I had a half cup of peanuts as a snack. For dinner tonight... I'm not sure what I'll have. But it better include some veggies--I'll probably grill up some zucchini and yellow squash in butter.
Note that there are things in what I just listed that you can't have yet (the peanuts and cottage cheese, in particular).
My main piece of advice is to go pick up Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (I imagine there's a Finnish translation?), and read it. It has a whole section of recipes in the back.
Incidentally, if you haven't lost weight in the first two weeks of the diet, you're probably not doing it right. Most people lose 8-12 lbs their first two weeks. It slows down to a sane level of weight loss after that. Go get the book and read it, that's the main thing.
