Does anybody know why nuts and seeds are not allowed during induction on the Atkins program? 1 oz of Almonds for example, only has 2 net carbs. They're allowed after the 1st 2 weeks if you stay on induction but not during the 1st 2 weeks. They REALLY help me satisfy my cravings for salty snacks but I don't want to eat them if it's really a big deal. I don't want to sabotage my weight loss.

Thanks,

Rick
