Here is what works spectacularly well for me.

Essentially, I stay on induction all the time.

Every other weekend(or every third weekend), I break it hard, starting on Friday night. Actually, I nuke bomb it. Gut grenades galore. Dr Peppers, peanut m&m's, cheetos, mcdonald's french fries, you name it......... even beer.

On these "breakout weekends"(ALWAYS planned well in advance) I behave until Friday night. At that point, it's time for the fun to start. Saturday is absolutely sinful. I indulge like a total pig. This keeps up until sunday afternoons, at which point I will eat some more sugar, but no more carbs.

Monday morning, I'm back on induction hard core.

I have been on atkins for two months now, and have lost 40 pounds.
