I learned most of what I know about atkins on his website...
just log on to www.atkincenter.com...
go to "How to do Atkins"
then "Induction"
Look in "Acceptable Foods"

It will tell you in very few words..."what's acceptable" including cheese...
I try to cut my cheese back to about 2 oz a day..
but I love those 2 oz....
