Have you read the DANDR 2002 book or seen the acceptable food list? It sounds like a few of you posting here should re-read the induction stickies and make up your minds to do everything possible not to cheat again -- I know it's hard but we can't loose the weight for you - that's something only you can do and only when you have the right frame of mind.
Good luck to all of you.
Here is the information I give to all newbies when they introduce themselves in the Spotlight forum -- please read it and follow it --
*Eat a variety of meats, cheeses and vegetables. Also make sure you get your fats, carbs and protein in daily. *Drink plenty of pure water (nothing added ***– see below for more info). *Take your supplements and exercise – that’s the plan. *Stay away from the shakes and bars (they aren’t legal on induction) and any processed or chemically enhanced foods – we eat whole foods.
Check the stickies (information posts) at the top of this page – it’s a condenced version of the DANDR book. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-diet-14-day-induction/ Make sure you drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day, including:
Filtered water
Mineral water
Spring water
Tap water *** Crystal Lite, sugar free teas, sugar free kool-aid & diet sodas do not count they are chemically enhanced and most include aspartame (also not allowed on Atkins) – PURE water is the only thing that counts toward your daily water intake. If you need a “flavor” in your water float a lemon or lime slice on top of your water
The recipe sites are a helpful way to make your meals more enjoyable – just make sure you use Induction Recipes to begin with.
