I have a few suggestions
Dairy - you are doing what seems like too much cheese. There are limits to 3-4 oz. Also limits on cream and sour cream.

Vegetables - two cups from the salad list - one cup from the other list. Make sure you eat it this way.

Hidden sugars - You are eating processed meat (ham, bacon, sausage) and there is often sugars in them. Can be a problem for some

Artificial sugars - Dr Pepper is sweetened with aspartame. Dr. Atkins found that this sweetener stalled some of his patients. Also make sure you do not have more than three servings of sweetener a day. I think you are over.

OK I hope that helps. Keep going and drink that water.

I agree with Liv.
You're allowed 1 ounce of sour cream and 3 ounces of heavy cream during Induction. Once you get to the Dairy rung 2, you will be allowed 5 more grams of Dairy other than what you're allowed during Induction.
If you have DANDR 2002, make sure to read through the Induction Chapter(Chapter 11, page 121) and especially the rules of Induction(pge 122). Also go to 14 Days of Induction here and read all the Stickies on the top of the page.Atkins Diet 14-day Induction
Wishing you much success in your Induction.
