Hi everyone! I have been reading the posts for several days now and I have found them to be very helpful. I am new to Atkins and on my 5th day of Induction. Finally the headaches have passed! YAY! However, I have a few questions.

Question #1: I am having a bit of a craving for something sweet, and I read in the Atkins book that you are allowed diet jello and a tbs of heavy whipped cream. I figured this would take care of it. However, I found that the sugar free jello has aspartame. Is it still ok to have this, and also how much am I allowed? I couldn't find an amount listed in the book.

Question #2: I could not find porkrinds anywhere on the Allowed Foods List for Induction, so I'm assuming I have to wait until Induction is over to have them? I found a great recipe for chicken wings breaded with crushed porkrinds and was wanting to make it. How much are you allowed a day of pork rinds?

Question #3: I am in medium ketosis. I was wondering if I should be in high by now? Have others been successful staying in medium? Maybe I should increase my protein and fat and decrease carbs a bit?

Question #4: I see that a lot of people are posting their body fat percentages. Where do you go or what do you do to find out the amount of body fat?

I am really looking forward to getting to know you all, and to a thinner me! Thanks!
