Hey everyone. I'll get around to posting more about me, and maybe open a journal, when I have a bit more time. I am a 22 year old college student and have been low carbing since Tuesday. So far I've lost about 6 lbs. (Started at 245). I'm excited, and reading this site has only increased that excitement.

This may sound like a silly question, but here it goes: During induction you are supposed to have less than 20g of carbs. 1 piece of wheat bread is only 9g so is it okay to have 1 every few days.

I read Dr. Atkins book and remember him saying that this is a qualitative diet, you have your foods you can have or you cant have. This obviously suggests that even a piece of bread that contains 2g of carbs would be off limits.

I look forward to hearing your insight on which is okay and if you could explain why (thats what is confusing me!) I would appreciate it! Thanks!
