Have a salad or if you are outside of Induction, make low carb granola.

I would encourage you to investigate what each of the phases and what that means to what foods are allowed. On maintenance, you can eat whatever your body will allow as determined by ACE. If that includes Pizza, go right ahead. Even during the losing phases, I ate pizza sans crust quite often.
I am not so much in favor in cheating while on the diet or taking off days. IMO keep your carbs relatively level; the once a week off day philosophy doesn’t work as I would tend to more off days.

is it ok to eat pizza once a while? how about once a week is that ok?
you said Atkins diet is life jounary does that mean you will never ever touch food like pizza paste again?

Check out my kidney stones video on the myth of “strain” theory.
I do not personally advocate the break theory. I have seen countless people “break” and then stay broken. Then they return to a former weight. For me, I had to keep every day like the last and no day was “special.” Cheat days didn’t and don’t work for me.
Some others say they need them. Dr. Atkins called it the kiss of death. It really comes to only you are accountable for your success/failure, and you have to make the choice.

yesterday was my 21st day and my back was killing me. i drink lots of water and check my ketone sticks regularly. i was told that if it was too much of a strain on your kidneys to break it and start again. so i broke it with a chalupa from taco bell and 1/2 cup ice cream. my back did feel better this morning. my question is, is it effective to “break” it in order to give your body a rest?

Does it count if I just talk dirty to a Snickers bar? What if I grope some pasta when no one is looking at the salad bar? Can i freebase Jujubes!

One more thing, do remember you are down and eating healthy. It may not be fast, but it still is losing.
One more thought – keep measuring yourself. You could be shrinking and not recognizing it.

Check out my “why am I not losing?” video. Here’ my gut reaction given what you’ve told me:
* stop drinking the shakes (I have seen too many stall on shakes/bars)
* drink more water – it’s necessary to flush the system (my recommendation is 64oz + 8 oz per 25 pounds to lose)
* still not losing – eliminate any artificial sweeteners (some people can’t even tolerate the hint of sweeteness)
The video may have other clues that resonate with you.

….. for dinner. I have either the meat loaf, or ground sirloin, whatever I didn’t have for lunch. and some salad greens with light oil and vinegar. i drink about 40 oz of water a day? I’m not hungry most of the time. I’m satisfied with the food, but i’ve only lost about 2 ilbs and it’s day 13 of the induction??? what gives?
February 5th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
thanks for you quick reply. I have about 50 lbs to lose. This is the second time i’ve been on the induction. this past week I have either an atkins shake for breakfast on my way to work, or two scrambled eggs with a bit of swiss cheese, 20 oz of water, cup of decaff with splenda and cream. Lunch is ground sirloin, or atkins meatloaf, with steamed veggies on the side. Dinner is either ground sirloin or meatloaf(what i didn;t have for lunch) and salad greens with sauteed onions……

How much do you have to lose? Can you also list your daily menus for the last couple days?
February 5th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
I’ve been on the induction for 13 days now and have only lost 1-2 pounds. I drink plenty of water and I AM in ketosis, but the weight is just not coming off? I’ve been following the induction to the letter???? Please help?

It’s just not worth it to cheat, I’m 19 and I can’t live like this anymore, my carbs are around 5g of carbs and I’m on a 0 cheat diet along with the low carbs I’m doing low calorie as well, I’m already lost 10lbs and It hasn’t even been 1 week.

February 5th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
If you make it yourself from the heavy cream. Not from a can.
February 5th, 2010 at 3:04 pm

I gave you a pointer on how to find the list in my other response, but I posted the Acceptable Foods List in your profile. (Ignore the ads on that page)
