Can you really eat this much cheese

[snow4rt]

Im on day 5 of the induction plan and I find myself putting cheese on everything. IT says 0 Carbs on package. Is there a problem with eating too much cheese...help trying to survive induction

snow4rt, welcome to ! Do you have a copy of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution 2002 (DANDR 2002)? On induction you are allowed 3-4 ounces of (hard) cheese per day. If you don't have the book there is a thread in the FAQ that lists all the Induction legal foods.

Good luck!

Actually, the FAQ section is not the same as the other board - it's missing everything. I'll try to find it for you...

Here's the info from the old FAQ.

As Clogger said, there is a limit on cheese - also we are supposed to count one carb per ounce of cheese no matter what the real carb count of it is.

Yes what Clogger says. On induction we can actually eat very little cheese. 3-4 ounces is not much.
Some food like cheese says zero carb but is not really zero carb. The rule is that if is is under 1 whole carb the label makers can say it is zero. So it may be 0.9 or something. All cheese will have carb in it because milk has some sugar (lactose).

THanks for the informatio about the cheese...I did get the book but am slow in reading it. I have been going to weight watchers for about 15 weeks and lost 9 pounds, and was wanting to shake things up so I am still going to WW but doing the atkins diet. I weighed in this morning and had lost 5 pounds my first week on atkins. I was really piling on the cheese though thanks so much for the information plan to cut back this second week.
