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?
