Treats you can eat on induction

Meat, seafood, poultry, fish, four ounces of cheese a day, and three
cups of salad greens.

That's it. Nothing else is allowed.

There have been a lot of questions along these lines lately. Somebody
posted "why isn't induction working? After all, I'm eating ATKINS ice
cream." Etc., etc., etc.

Please, people, read the book or at least study the Atkins website. Do
not attempt to do this diet on your own.

There is a REASON why you're not allowed to have this stuff on
induction.

Anyway, all the chicken, duck, turkey, beef, and ham you can eat
should be enough of a treat for anybody.

Is sugar free Jello forbidden on induction? Jello is low carb sweet
treat that is not a trigger food for most people.

You can eat anything you like, even sugar coated bananas, but be aware
that most things not on the allowed list will trigger some-kind of
"click" inside of your body, the body will figure out that you're trying
to trick it trough induction into ketosis, and will start to work in
every way possible to fight against you and your efforts.

Everything is possible but why climb a mountain barehanded to have an
occasional "cheat snack" if you can just ride the helicopter and eat
mayo-coated stakes with champignons, cheese and seasoning on the way up.

Well...I guess everyone is different. While I was on induction I ate plenty
of the things you mentioned but I also ate broccoli, green beans, spinach,
eggs, peanuts and small amounts of tomato, onion, bell pepper and cucumber
in my salads. Worked out fine for me as I began losing weight almost
immediately.

The most important thing is to keep the carb count low. I try to keep mine
at 20 - 25 grams per day and the results were great.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. That is vastly oversimplified and incomplete.
I urge you to take another look at the Induction list of foods. If you don't
have the book, here's the site:

However, your point is well taken and correct - induction is strict for a
reason.

You weren't on induction.

That great -- but keep carbs at over 20 g per day is NOT induction. It's LC,
but not induction. Eating off plan foods is not induction, either. It not
being induction doesn't mean you won't make progress, BTW.

You can eat anything you like

not if you're trying to follow atkins' plan, which calls for two weeks
of induction, which in turn calls for eating only foods on the induction
list. it's not about eating anything you like. it's about following a
set of rules.

i eat whatever the hell i want on induction.
even pizza with crust

Thank you for pointing this out- I see so many posts of people bending the rules on the Atkins plan, when they are very clear for induction. Part of the induction changes your body, but part is DISCIPLINE, changing the way you think about eating. If you follow the induction carefully, you will be building a good foundation for adding other foods later. You will be measuring your food, learning how much your favorite dish holds, becoming aware of everything you eat. Measure that portion then notice how big it is on your plate. I read a complaint here on 3 cups of packed salad greens being to little- gee it fills a pretty big plate!
When your in an uncomfortable situation, like a restaurant, you will be more able to make the right choices and stick to the plan. I had to look at the lists of foods several times of day- just to make sure I was getting it right. Now, a baby OWL, I'm working on that ladder list of foods. Again facing a plate of food that was placed in front of me, like the other night, knowing what is ok to try without having my book with me.

As for the Jell-O, Its sugar free, but contains aspartaine, so use sparingly. I limited my sweeteners to 3 a day, and am still using as a treat. The Jell-O does make a nice dessert that you can whip sour cream or cream cheese in to- but again everything needs to be counted, and I needed those cheese cubes throughout the day those first 2 weeks.

One day I made a sweet omelet with sweetened cream cheese, Legal, but I was nuts looking for foods I could eat. On the other hand, I can eat bacon or cheese in the morning and walk right by the doughnut box at work.

I broke my nose this summer, 2 black eyes and I looked horrible. My Doctor just said, Keep busy! We are recovering and healing from being overweight, Keep busy! follow the plan and get on with living.
