Both are allowed, but you should read the ingredients to make sure that no sugar or other carbohydrates have been added.

very kind of you thank you so much

You need to check the list of ingredients to see if what is in the particular product is an allowed ingredient.

Any reason I shouldn't have unsweetened almond milk? It states 1.5 carbs per 250ml on the label. I'm back on induction, but got used to almond milk on paleo.

Only reason is that it didn't exist in 2002.

I am in the induction stage and I bought Aktins protein bars with a net count of 2g. But it contains nuts and nuts are not on the induction menu. So is it okay for me to have them when in the induction phase or no?

My thought would be to save them for later.

Be kind to yourself and stay away from "frankenstein" foods, if you really want to learn a new way of eating. Could you really eat just one protein bar? Take a look at the sweet recipes on the forum while you're on induction.

I work 12hr shifts and I am a way from home for 18hrs a day. I work in an isolated area and must bring all my food and water for the day with me in a small box. It makes packing Atkins friendly meals quite challenging. (that's a lot of salad). So I was just going to use the bars for work as they take up a lot less space. I have embraced the Atkins diet and plan on following it for life. I have only been on it a short time and I have already seen results.

Thanks for the reply.

Why is stevia sometimes used in recipes for induction friendly desserts? The pot I have is all carbs....doesn't make sense to me.

Hi Guys, I was wondering about sour cream during induction? I can't find anything about it in my book. All kinds of condiments that I haven't heard of before but no information on sour cream. Thanks.

Hi there.

If you go back to the first post in this thread, you will find that Dr Atkins allowed 2 tablespoons of sour cream per day during Induction.

Some "stevia for cooking/baking" is mixed with maltodextrin or other carbs to bulk it up so it measures like sugar. So find a brand with ~0 carbs per serving.

Induction-friendly recipes use plain stevia powder in minute amounts, or you can use Truvia (stevia +erythritol, ~1/3 the bulk of sugar). In liquids, liquid stevia is easier to work with, since you only need a few drops. No matter what non-bulked stevia brand you use, read the label to see how much equals the sweetening power of X amount of sugar. I start with half the sugar equivalent since most recipes are too sweet. Too much stevia tastes bitter, and one too many drops can turn a pleasant cup of tea into an awful one.

Hi guys. I was wondering if Stevia can halt weight loss. I have been doing fantastic with a 2+ lb a week loss for months when I all of a sudden just stopped. The only thing I have changed in my diet is Zevia brand Stevia sweetened soft drinks. I was getting desperate for something to drink besides water or black decafe. The nutritional table on the can is all 0s so I thought it would be safe. So I was wondering if it's the Stevia or have I just finally plateaued? Any thoughts, opinions? (was drinking about 4/5 cans a week)
