Hi there,

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol, and has different effects on different people...it casues some to stall. Induction is best kept simple and its main purpose is to detox you of the carb cravings and get your body burning fat for fuel. Avoiding any non induction foods is important to get the best out of the two weeks, so I would hold off until you are past the two weeks.

Chicken tikka - not sure if it was made fresh or was pre-made? Either way if may well have had sugar in it. Again... not induction food. Don't worry though...just put it behind you and get back to strict induction.

Seltzer - being from NZ I'm not entirely sure what this is (other than a drink) but it really depends on the carb count. Plus if it has any artificial sweetner it is best left till after induction.

Induction is a pretty important time on the atkins regime, and it does make a huge difference if you can be really strict on sticking to it for the two weeks.

hope that helps
Lesley
