A relative of mine did induction and said she lost NOTHING! She even e-mailed a list of everything she ate and it looked okay, except just a couple foods that she probably shouldn't have eaten, like berry flavored cream cheese and sugar free popsicles. Does this sound right?

She says she has a lot to lose, so I am baffled WHY she didn't lose anything! I lost 15 pounds in induction, most others I hear lose about that also.

She was also eatting Atkins Quick Bread, 2 carbs of it a day. Was that wrong? Per the book you can't have that, but on the Atkins website it does say the bread mix is okay for step one. She also ate Atkins chips once I think which I believe is a no no in induction. but she STILL should of lost SOMETHING right??

She is begging me for help and I don't know what to say!! Can someone help? I will copy and paste her menu below.....
