Hi there,
I purchased this book in early 2000. I am looking at the Rules for Induction #5
I quote" Using a carb gram counter, one could find other combinations totaling less than 20 gms. of carb. One would use foods like nuts, seeds, olives, avacados, cheeses, cream and sour cream, lemon and lime juices, and Atkins low-carb diet foods such as the Shake Mix, Bake Mix and Advantage Bars. Don't assume these foods are low, unless you absolutely know the carb content of the portion you are eating."

Has this now changed? When I was on Atkins before I did not use the Bake mix but had an occasional protein shake and a few bites of a bar a day and lost no problem. Is'nt the main thing that you just don't go over 20gms with the allowed items as long as it is not fruit, bread, grains, starchy veggies or high carb dairy?
