Nope, not really... The best thing you can do is follow all the Rules of Induction and combine your cardio exercises with some strength training. Take body measurements too---often we lose inches even when our weight stays the same. It's inches that will make that dress less tight, not necessarily the number on the scale.

Also, does anyone know about beansprouts and net carbs?
This is the Induction acceptable foods list: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)
You can see that bean sprouts are on the "Other Vegetables" list, so you are allowed to have 1 cup of them, assuming that day you eat no other foods from the "Other Vegetables" list.

Here are some other links you might find useful:

BTW, for the stir fry, what sauce are you planning to use?

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!"
