In the chapter for rules of indution in New Diet Revolution, Dr. Atkins says only to "Try to avoid meat and fish products cured with nitrates, which are known carcinogens." I think when it comes to hot dogs, sausages, etc., Dr. Atkins is more concerned with the risk of developing cancer from eating too many of them. If you think they are causing your stall, why not try giving them up for a week or so to see if it helps end the stall? It's worth a try. If it's not the nitrates, then you can try taking away other foods until you find out what it is that's making you stall. It could be the opposite, too, though. Maybe you aren't getting enough of something- water, carbs (are you eating enough fiber rich foods?), fats, supplements?
