Atkins mentions not to cheat during his induction and he probably makes that statement with sound knowledge behind him.

I don't know about you, but one week into induction I just wasn't ready to cheat with carbs. It would have been all over for me and kudos to you for managing to jump back on the wagon again.

You need time to rid your body of addictions, substances and foods that are causing you trouble. You'd be surprised the effect of certain foods after 6 weeks away from them. I had 1 3gm slice of lo carb bread for the first time over the weekend and within an hour my tummy was gurgling and bloated. I had no idea wheat affected me like that. No more bread for me.

So give the plan a chance and try to do a good solid 2 week clean induction then take it carefully from there.

One thing you learned here was cheat days don't sit well with you (or me for that matter). Others do great and that's a bummer for us
