(per Atkins induction instructions) Diet Drinks sparingly and only those sweetened with Splenda...consider each serving as 1g carbohydrate anyway. Those drinks sweetened with aspartme (Nutrasweet) have been shown to reduce the amount of weight lost. Cottage Cheese is fine, as long as it's not the low-fat, non-fat kind, these tend to have increased amounts of carbohydrates. Fried Chicken is RIGHT OUT as Monty Python would say...the carbohydrates present in the battered skin is in no way allowed during induction. Please understand that this is only during the induction period, during OWL and the maintenance levels of the program you can have as many carbs as you want as long as your weight loss doesn't decrease/stall or go the other way. Follow their recommendations and increase your carb intake slowly, i.e. raise it 5 to 10 grams per day for the next week. So induction says 20g or less per day and most of that from veggie carbs the green leafy kind, the following week after induction (after 14 days) raise your carb limit by 5 to 10 for a total of 25 to 30g per day. As long as you continue to lose weight you are good. The next week raise it yet again and so on. The minute you stall or go the other way scale back the carbohydrates. If you are still stalled go back on induction for a couple of days and rinse repeat the cycle again.
