Hi,
Have you got the Atkins book to use as reference ?
I say this because you mention "margarine" it's not one of the foods on induction....I quote from the book
"Butter is allowed, margarine is not. Margarine should be avoided not because of its carbohydrate content but because it is a potential health hazard"
Makes you think doesn't it !!

Eat as much protein as you like, it's free food. Go check out the Atkins webpage, they list the food you are allowed on induction

Are you near to TOM? This can play havoc on this diet, some gain, some don't even notice it coming.....apologies if you're a guy !

I've just completed 2 weeks on induction, only needed to lose 10lbs and have lost 5lbs already. I've been eating loads of chicken, fish, ham, eggs, cheese and the recommended amount of salad. All smothered or cooked in butter, cream and mayonnaise.

Silly question but did you weigh on different scales at all?
