Induction and Sugar
Hello All.
I have just started in Atkins last Monday. I do have one question that I can't seem to find an answer to. How important is it to avoid ALL sugar during induction? For example, I can not find bacon that is not sugar cured (even talked to a couple butchers). Also, before starting Atkins I found a turkey sausage stick (Piller's) that I liked (quite tasty, not greasy, and only 1/2 g carb each), but it does have some sugar in it. It can't be much as it is about 3/4 of the way down the ingredient list. I think that the Atkin's book refers to these as hidden sugar. Is this right? Should I avoid things like these? Is there some guideline to say what would count as (too much) sugar in a product? Timothy Oliver |

My experience is that as long as you're losing and aren't having problems such as increased hunger or blood sugar rebounds, I wouldn't sweat it. Martha -- Begin where you are - but don't end there. |
