The shame!!! | No, there is no limit on fat. Dr. Atkins told us to eat when hungry or when 6 hours have passed since our last meal. He also told us to stop eating when satisfied, not full, stuffed or sick from overeating. During Induction, the percentages one should aim for are 65% fat, 5% carbs and 30% protein. The protein stays the same throughout the diet, but the percentage of fat decreases to leave room for more carbohydrates. However, Atkins remains a high fat diet, with the majority of the total calories coming from fat. So while there is no limit on the amount of fat or protein we are allowed to eat, we are not supposed to binge on them. And we should not overeat protein either, because part of the excess protein will be converted to sugars, which can kick us out of ketosis, trigger cravings, cause stalls or even weight gain.

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!"
