 Re: Atkins Bake on Induction? | |
Yeah, the Recipes section in the book is a little tricky as not all recipes included in the Induction menus follow the Rules of Induction. An ADBB member who was posting here a few years ago and who started Atkins when Dr. Atkins was still alive once wrote that the contradictions between the rules and the recipes come from the fact that these recipes were designed based on the rules from the previous versions of the Atkins Diet (when you were allowed to have 20 carbs from whatever you fancied) and they were not updated for the 2002 edition of the book.
You should also remember that it's not really Dr. Atkins who wrote the book, but ghost writers, which may lead to further inexactitudes between chapters.
If you are on Induction, stick to the Rules of Induction as those are the ones hard to be changed by anyone other than Dr. Atkins. You need a doctor for those, but only a writer or a cook for the recipes. 
I think you're the first person on this Board who wrote that she took the book with her at the grocery store. On the other hand, I've seen many people cheating because, once at the grocery store, they weren't sure whether whatever food is "legal" or "not". So kudos to you.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
