I have a question.

Rule 4

"Do not eat nuts or seeds in the first two weeks"

Why then is this allowed seemingly in the Induction Phase:

Morning Snack
Day Break Almond Cranberry bar

Afternoon Snack
Advantage Chocolate Caramel Crunch bar

Full of almonds and peanuts.:sad: :noway:

This is from the website:

    My impression is that there is Old-School Atkins (which has better results) and new-school Atkins that is all about selling products and good PR, so it is a lot less restrictive. I heard from a lot of people to stay away from Atkins products for weight loss.

    All that said, I think nuts are fine so long as you stay under 20 carbs for the day. Nuts add up in calories very quickly.

    I agree. I have tried the bars and then went about making my own. Lot cheaper and tastier and dare I say it more in line with Atkins philosphy.
