Some people add more carbs in the form of induction-allowed foods first to establish the level of carbs that their body can handle without gaining weight, then swap out 5 g of those carbs for non-induction foods to test which other foods they can handle and not gain weight.


You could also keep an eye out for any of the long list of "Blood Sugar Symptoms" Dr Atkins wrote about in Chapter 12 of DANDR to see if the new foods are affecting you in other ways than weight gain.
