Hi Carole, thanks so much for the reply! I think I see where the differences are coming in...
I have a copy of the 2002 Diet Revolution, however I also purchased The Atkins Essentials (2004) marketed here as Atkins Made Easy to see if there's been any updates.
This book states that Advantage bars are acceptable during induction, and the Atkins website suggests Induction phase daily menus that include Atkins Advantage bars and other Atkins supplements! However, since reading further I've now seen that the Atkins Health & Medical Info Services is changing some language and guidelines...
So, the lesson here is that the first iteration is best, and I'll be following the 2002 book now. Am a bit burnt from paying 10 euro for a paperback that's useless now, but better to be out of pocket that still stuffed into too-tight clothes!
Will be having a word with the hubby about doing as he's told and sticking to the plan
I really appreciate the feedback and tips, this is a GREAT message board!
