Not only are you rude, but you are evidently illiterate. The poor woman just wanted to know if COCONUT (not almond) flour is allowed in the induction phase!!!

Since coconut flour has only recently come into the low-carb spotlight, the person who dared to ask a question (ooh, a question) would not find the answer in an Atkin's diet book.

Incidentally, I was wondering the exact same thing about coconut flour. In fact, right before I arrived at this very page I typed "coconut flour Atkin's induction" into my Google search to see what I could find.

When I got to this page, I expected to see useful/helpful input, and that's pretty much what I saw... until I read your post. The person who originally asked a simple question about coconut flour seems to be new to the low-carb lifestyle and probably could've used some encouragement-- nothing like a little abuse from a diet zealot to get things started...

So, if anyone would be so kind to comment on coconut flour, which happens to be VERY low in carbs and very high in fiber, and if it's allowed during induction, I (and obviously some others) would greatly appreciate it. Of course, the chastising and belittling comments that may come along would better be left elsewhere.
