Default Newbie here with some questions!

Hi - I'm fairly new to the Atkins or Lo Carb way of life - today is day 17...I have a few questions I am anxious to hear back about:

1. All-in-One dexatrim bar...1g net carb - anyone try yet? I had one this morning and they are good (white choc raspberry). I assume it's ok if I have during Induction (or at least because I am past day 14)?
2. SOmeone mentioned (I've been reading the posts for several weeks now) about it's ok to chew gum on Induction...ORBIT is lowest so far but I have some Trident and i see it's less than 1g carb per serving. you think it's ok to go ahead and chew either one?
3. How about celery and peanut butter? Without the PB jar in front of me I'm not sure of the carbs but it sure sounds like a nice change for a snack! THink it's ok to eat yet? (trying to incorporate other carb foods now that I'm past the 1st 14 days of Induction)
4. Are we supposed to take "days off?" I talk w/others who hear I'm doing lo carbs and they always ask "have you had your day off yet?" and I am not sure what they mean.
5. I am still fatigued after 2 weeks of lo carbing. From what I've read the fatigue should have only lasted a couple of days and I've yet to see that burst of energy I've heard happens to you after day 3 or 4. Anything I should be looking into to get some energy (supplements, or my food intake)?
6. I read that alo of lo-carbers are using DAVINCI syrups and also SPAG SQUASH...#1 where do I find the syrups and #2 anyone out there using the spag squash and care to share about it (is it good and does it really make a nice substitute for pasta)?

THANKS IN ADVANCE for any answers/advice you can share - I look forward to checking back here to see what y'all come up with!
