From the official Atkins Center website ... The Rules of Induction ...
Quote:
12. If you are constipated, mix a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks in a cup or more of water and drink daily. Or mix ground flaxseed into a shake or sprinkle wheat bran on a salad or vegetables.

So it is permitted on Induction, but might be best to limit to no more than 2 - 3 Tbsp.

Freshly ground flaxseed has an added advantage .. not only is it an excellent source of fiber, but also provides important omega-3 fatty acids from its oil
