Post Straight from Atkins website....

I just wanted to send along the info regarding the no carb products and what not. I personally prefer sticking to the induction diet as closely w/o any of these products, adapting to living w/o grains and sugars, keeping strict w/ mostly protein and allowed veggies and salad toppings. HOWEVER- Dr. Atkins does NOT say that you cannot have these things in induction. Its highly suggested to use them only occasional and make sure you keep up with the carb count. (under 20) As it does take away from your veggie count if you count your total carb intake, and that's not good.
Here's the copy from the Atkins website however.


Convenience Foods
Although it is important that you eat primarily unprocessed foods, some controlled carb food products can come in handy when you are unable to find appropriate food, can’t take time for a meal or need a quick snack. More and more companies are creating healthy food products that can be eaten during the Induction phase of Atkins. Just remember two things:

Not all convenience food products are the same, so check labels and carbohydrate content. (See the Online Store for Atkins brand products.)
While any of these foods can make doing Atkins easier, don’t overdo it. Remember, you must always follow The Rules of Induction.
