Limits to induction foods not listed?

[hamoverfist]

I have seen a few lists here and there regarding limits to amount of cheese (3-4 ounces) and cream (2-3 tbsp), etc. If the cheese has 0 g of carbs, is there a limit to 0 g carb foods or should we just eat foods to till content? (not stuffed obviously). For example, if we eat pork rinds as a snack...is there a limit (obviously not 4 bags a day ). I am trying to eat the right induction foods, but am also concerned about doing that right. It would be helpful if there was a sensible amounts list somewhere. Does that exist?

Thanks Again!!!

All cheese counts as 1gr carb/ounce. Do not count on labels to tell you that food is 'zero-carb' - they round DOWN. If one serving has .49 carbs in it - they put 0 on the label. Eat 5 servings and that is 2.45carbs. You can count fresh, unprocessed meat as zero carb, but there are 'hidden carbs' everywhere in processed food.

Eat only when you are hungry - eat until you are not hungry anymore.

It's listed in chapter 11, "And Away You Go: The Induction Phase" of his book:

Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, Robert C. Atkins, Book - Barnes & Noble

The 2002 version. Do you have that already?
