ANSWERS TO FOLLOW





ANSWERS
1. Saccharin is an acceptable sugar substitute.
ANSWER:TRUE
Acesulfame-K,Sucralose (Splenda), Saccharin and Stevia are the sugar substitutes Dr. Atkins said were okay to use during Induction.

2. 64 ounces is the minimum amount of water to drink daily.

3. Peanuts are allowed during the first 14 days of Induction.
ANSWER: FALSE
Peanuts are legumes, although they are considered to be nuts by some folks. No matter their food classification, peanuts are not allowed during the 14 Day Induction.

4. It's okay to save up your carbs and eat them all at one meal.
ANSWER: FALSE
Saving up your carbs for one meal will serve to destabilize your blood sugar and lead to a relatively exaggerated insulin response. Part of this weight loss and weight maintenance on this diet depends on keeping the blood sugar and insulin levels steady.

Pumpkin is limited to 1 cup daily. See the Acceptable Foods List for further explanation.

ANSWER: b. Cream Cheese
See the Acceptable Foods List and the Cheese footnote

7. What is the fat/protein/carb ratios during Induction?
a. 65/30/5
b. 60/35/5
c. 55/40/5
d. 50/45/5
ANSWER: a. 65/30/5
The ratios represent the percentages of eat of these nutrients in your daily caloric intake. Atkins is a high fat diet, not a high protein diet.

8. Which meal is the most Induction phase friendly?

c. both a. and b. are correct
d. neither a. nor b. are correct.
ANSWER: a. Roast turkey, 1 cup each sauteed summer squash and mushrooms, 3 tablespoons heavy cream, whipped with a packet of splenda
The roast turkey is obvious. Summer squash (zucchini or yellow neck) are on the 'other vegetable' list. Mushrooms are on the 'salad' list. Each of these vegetables can be eaten in the acceptable daily amounts during Induction. 3 tablespoons of heavy cream is permissible as well as the packet of Splenda. Like the vegetables, they can be consumed at their appropriate amounts.

Sugar-free Jello Brand gelatin is sweetened with aspartame, which is the artificial sweetener Dr. Atkins said to avoid.
