Yep, yep, yep and yep... but no sauce I'm afraid, unless you make it yourself without sugar or other "illegal" ingredients.

Good for you! Exercise is a mandatory part of Atkins and combining the eating part of Atkins with the exercise part is how you will get the best results.

Since you won't be home, have a few copies of the Induction acceptable foods list (in the link above) with you and check this list whenever you are uncertain if some food is allowed. Also prepare an emergency kit, in case there will be times with no "legal" food available. Here are some tips from Kent: YouTube - Atkins Diet: Low Carb Emergency Kit

im absolutely addicted to diet soda/ lemonade/etc i need something to drink .
i know its not allowed but is it really that bad???
We are all different, so something that might not affect me at all may affect you "really bad"; we might also have different definitions of what "really bad" is.

To maximize your weight loss results, I would not recommend diet sodas or lemonade, as many people see a stall or slowdown in their weight loss when consuming diet drinks. But if you decide to have them, you should not forget to count each serving (8 oz) towards your daily sweetener limit of 3 packets/servings.

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!"
