I've been sticking to real foods, very close to induction, just adding berries recently (I've been LCing for about 3 months). I've been quite satisfied just eating these real foods so had no reason to add prepared foods. However, the one item I did miss consistently was ice cream. Then I went to BJ's Wholesale Club and found they are now carrying Atkins Indulge Ice Cream. I tried the vanilla and it is DELICIOUS!

This product has definitely helped me stay true to the Atkins WOE because it satisfies the one craving I had for something "illegal". The taste is very satisfying and the texture really creamy like regular ice cream. Now that I have this treat to look forward to once in a while, along with my berries and heavy cream, my sweet cravings are satisfied.

As long as you are diligent reading the ingredients of such products, and use them only in moderation, I believe they can be useful.
