Default the truth about avocadoes??

I've read all over the internet and SOME people say avocadoes are not allowed on induction, others say they are but NOT in the first two weeks!

What is the final consensus on avocadoes?

Full disclosure: i've been on induction for five days so far and eaten almost 2 of the Haas variety.

Thanks in advance for the guidance!

Avocados are allowed during Induction, but limited to 1/2 per day.

Here is the list of acceptable foods: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...induction.html (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)

I love avocados, and haven't had any yet on induction, but last time, I ate 1/2 of one everyday I used to make an omelet with bacon, cheese and avocado, it was to die for!

Ok, here's a food I'm curious about but I've never tasted. They are on sale this week at Kroger. What do they taste like? I have no idea...but I'm trying to be a little more adventurous!!

Default Re: the truth about avocadoes??

I just put salt on them and eat LOL. I haven't had any on induction. I should pick some up because it would be a wonderful treat! It's a good way to start my 2nd phase. Finished 14 days today.

Hopefully I can control myself. It's something that I would normally eat more than half of...

They have a creamy texture, and as for taste, I can't describe it! They are good, plain and simple
