Hi Hockeymom:

It's not even a question of maybe. It's a definate "no".

If you are doing Atkins, Dr. Atkins says to reserve a 2 week period where you won't cheat and if you can't commit to not cheating, then put it off until you can . The reason is to stabilize blood sugars. Cheating includes any of the induction rules including popcorn. I can't find the quote in my book, maybe someone else knows where it is.

If one was on anything other than Induction, I'd say "you know the risks, it's your choice". But the fact that you can't go to a movie without having popcorn indicates an addiction that needs to be addressed. Mine is sugar. We all have our own addictions and know that we just can't have a little bit.

It sounds like you already knew the answer to this question and made a very wise choice. Induction is hard enough for most people, why repeat it after one of those "just a little won't hurt" delusions?
