No, you cannot eat all the bacon you want, because then you will likely eat all the bacon you can. On Atkins you should eat only enough to satisfy your hunger, without feeling full/stuffed. So you cannot finish one pound of bacon just because it has zero carbs (or very few) or because you can fit more food in your belly. Dr. Atkins said that some of us need to relearn eating normal portion sizes and gave us strategies to help with this (check DANDR 2002). And don't forget to eat your 3 cups of veggies every day. Happy low carbing!

try like 3 slices of bacon every morning..try to read every package you buy and pick the lowest carb..don't cheat, drink water, drink the book and try to exercise at least 30 mins a day...(i love bacon too..but that much nitrates and processed food is not great for you 24/7)

 Wow, Georgiana, you really are Miss Lightning Fingers. Can I just say two things: 1) You have a beautiful name (on its own and because it's from my favorite book); 2) I've learned more from your posts than from anyone else's on this board. Thanks for always putting such thought into your replies.

Probably not induction legal, but maybe it works like using your book as a pillow to "absorb the knowledge" only taking that concept to an extreme....

I love bacon too - and I revel in the fact that I can eat it (almost) everyday and still lose weight. I have one or two pieces for breakfast, and occasionally will crumble a piece into my salad or make John's Garlic & Bacon green beans. As Georgiana said - you can eat as much as you want - as long as you are following all of the rules. On a side note, we had dinner with neighbours at the lake - we just make our suppers at the same time & bring our plates over & eat together once in a while. DH & I had thick pork chops, grilled; fresh green beans with butter; peppers, onions & zuchinni sauteed with herbs & garlic. My hubby had yogourt with DaVinci syrup for dessert. They could barely believe we are on a diet

You guys are too funny! Hi Johnathan! Everyone is absolutely right...count your bacon carbs carefully. BUT, I bet I ate about 3 lbs of bacon the first week. Induction is about breaking our old habits and getting into ketosis. If bacon is going to get you there, do it! You will soon see your appetite decrease and craving go away - not just for sweets, but really all food cravings (like Bacon!) too. Good luck!
