It is basically to "get over" one's addiction to sweets and high glycemic grains. Forget "the rules" for a minute, and what I can and can't have, and just think... what do you want to train your taste buds and body to do? The bars aren't going to stop existing after induction. Give it a fair chance, and go with the 2 week real-food phase. Just a suggestion. CM

"*AmBeR*" wrote in message om... Is it allowed in the induction phase? Its only like 2 carbs. and I wager that you did not read Atkins/southbeach/whatever. You need to understand that induction is about BREAKING BAD FOOD ADDICTIONS like chocolate. if you eat low carb chocolate (which contains either malitol, sucralose, or some other "net carb" thing that might make you stall anyhow), you are just succumbing to the temptations you are trying to break. no, you cannot eat it. you must follow the induction phase to the letter.

**Question About Low-carb Chocolate**
http://www.geocities.com/jenny_the_bean/products.htm explains why many of
those "2 gram" candies may hit your body with the 17 grams on the back label, especially if they are made with maltitol or glycerin which many low carbers find behave just like sugar in their bodies. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years.

Dot,
Lacitol is a sugar alcohol. It is notorious for causing diarrhea and/or gas. -- Jenny - Low Carbing for 4 years. At goal for weight. Type 2 diabetes, hba1c 5.2.
