1) what is a GOOD fat / protein ratio (if any) | Your percentages look pretty good. During Induction you should be aiming for something like 65% fat, 30% protein, 5% carbs. Quote:
I drank a Pepsi Max both days to beat the slump, and I don't know if that could be a stumbling block. I don't drink coffee and needed something to try to jolt me into awakeness. It's sugar /carb /cal free, but I know the caffiene is NOT cool with DANDR........ at least not now  | It's not only the caffeine... I could be wrong, but isn't Pepsi Max sweetened with aspartame? Dr. Atkins wrote that we should "avoid aspartame whenever possible".

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!"
