Thanks for your replies.

I'm still not sure if I'm any the wiser, I've done so well, bring on day 9 and having lost 11lbs, I'm a bit scared to do the trial and error thing just yet - I hope to stay on induction for as long as I can, I'm really enjoying Atkins and I'm only missing my pint!

P.S. lburnikell - I'm from Sunderland too! - Middle Herrington.
