Can we have......

Lentil soup during the induction period?

Nope

You can only eat whats on the acceptable foods list.

Thanks, my mother-in-law made it for tonight......in turn I tell my wife that I cannot have it, and, she gets upset LOL. But you know what, I am gonna remain committed to this diet!!

Good job!!

Show your wife the copy of the Induction Rules and the Induction Acceptable Foods List. And it might be a good idea if your wife reads the book---that way, she'll be able to provide you with moral support.

Stick to your guns man! I know its hard when the people close to you get upset - my mother does it to me all the time as they dont understand how this WOE works sometimes and most of the time they mean well.Definately show your wife the book . My partner has read it and its very helpful. I think I will give it to mymother to read next! GOODLUCK!

Yep... stick to your guns and avoid the lentil soup for now. You'll be able to have it on the correct OWL (ongoing weight loss) rung.

Have you read the book? It's essential if you want to understand how and why this programme works so well. Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution, 2002 edition is the one you want. It'll become your best friend!
