Hi! I'm new to this web site and hope to get some really helpful info. from you experienced atkins dieters. I started my induction period this past monday, march 29, 2004. Being the chocolate/sweets/bread/pasta fan that I am, I am really having issues with the allowables with atkins. Just to keep my sanity, does anyone know if I can have the very delicious Russel Stovers Sugar Free (sweetened with Maltitol) Truffels and French Mints? I've already researched some of my other favorite vices (coffee primarily) but am uncertain about the chocolates? Can anyone assist in that answer? If it's not allowed yet, I guess tomorrow I start all over!
