Hi there - please bear with me if I am asking an obvious question. I am
entering Atkins induction and am confused about something... Atkins
says to eat ONLY what food is on the acceptable foods list but then on
their sample menus for induction they include things that are not on the
list (wraps, Atkins pancakes with syrup). My question is: Do I stay
strictly to the acceptable foods list or do I just use the list as a
guideline and stay under 20 carbs a day? Help! Thank you. 🙂
Dr A wasn't a cook so it appears he had someone else ghost
write the section with the recipes. He didn't check that
section very carefully and you can see the results. Mistakes
aplenty in the recipes section.
If you follow the rules as written you have the highest
chance of the best success. If you follow the examples your
chances are probably still pretty good. Consider that if
you follow the rules as written the foods get progressively
less strict starting week 3 anyways, so then you'll be able
to expand your variety. Conservative or agressive, your
choice.
