Hi,
I think you will be much better off if you do a strict induction for at least the two weeks. After that you may want to increase your carb intake or maybe just occasionally have some of the low carb substitutions while staying at induction levels.
I am now into my 4th month on Atkins. I followed a pretty strict induction for about two months. Now, there are a few substitute foods that I use.

Low carb ice cream - maybe 1/2 cup per week.
La Tortilla Factory tortillas - several times per week
Atkins breakfast cereal or MiniCarb granola - several times per week
Nature's Own 7 carb bread (5 net per slice) - one,two slices per day
Hood's Carb Countdown milk - with my cereal
Hood's Carb Countdown chocolate milk - one glass, 3 or 4 times per week

I have never felt the need for any of the candies even though I used to be a 3 Musketeer junky.

The cereals, granola, tortillas, and bread are good methods to insure your fiber intake.

I am probably eating 40 to 60 carbs per day and I am still losing weight, although not as rapidly as before.

Lots of luck,
Johnie
