The only reason you are supposed to eat fat is because your body needs an energy source and it will go for your muscle if you dont eat carbs or fats, protein is a poor energy source
Yep, that's exactly why I was wondering about the fat part.

The Rules of Induction I was talking about are part of the Atkins Diet, which is what we follow at ADBB. We go by the 2002 edition of "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution". Anyway. What I wanted to say is that according to these rules, net carbs should be limited to max. 20 g during Induction. So if you're eating 15 or less is also okay as long as most of them come from 3 cups of vegetables.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.

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!"
