i very often go for 1 or 2 week on induction and then have a cheat meal or even a cheat half day, especailly if the scale moved downward for the previous week, Atkins himself touted the idea of a cheat meal or cheat day,, ( even 3 days off if you were on a hard platue) ,, when your low carbing for a week or 2, and the idea of carbs is in your head, tell yourself , look ward to that one meal, and then enjoy it, savor it, then get right back on induction, not only will you feel good about yourself, but you will have no guilt,,, why because you planned it, it wasnt spontaneous! it wasnt dissaster!,,, this puts you in control, and guess what,, after another week or 2 of induction low carb eating you will see the scale continue to drop and go down!,, carb ups are a wonderful tool for keeping the stall/ platue at bay

Is it worth it for you to stall? Is that cake/beer/etc worth it? If it is, then eat. But then the very next meal continue on with Atkins. I *try* to watch cals and carbs if I do cheat for a day or two so even if I gain a little weight by being knocked out of ketosis, it won't also be because I had a calorie surplus.
