Right, none during induction, then limited after, I useally measure out how many, then put the rest right out of site. What I see is what I get. lol.

I buy the snack zip bags and carry a few Mac nut in my purse for emergency, even that I pre-measure.

These stall me too much if I'm aiming for less than 50 carbs/day. Plus I can't stop eating them.

I found some super-spicy peanuts I use for PMS emergencies, though. Keeps me away from bbq potato chips, a particular weakness of mine.

I need to quit buying nuts. Everytime I buy a can of macadamia nuts I eat AT LEAST half the container, which is 2.5 ounces. And at about $1 per ounce, they aren't the cheapest thing to consume all the time.

Echoing other posts, I have trouble limiting quantity of nuts; for me, they are addictive. Also they are incredibly high in calories, which may or may not matter to you. Many nutritionists and dieticians think they are very good for you, containing the "good" fats as well as fiber.

I dont know what I was reading but I thought nuts were okay. No wonder Ive been stalled for 2 days. What a waste of time over a dumb bunch of peanuts. Im so mad right now. Can somebody please refer me to the most updated and revised version of the atkins book because my version is from 1992. I need to buy one anyhow, this one belongs to the library. LOL

And to think that I just posted a question on why I'm stalled. I don't even want to think about what everyone is going to reply with.

two days is NOT a stall... don't sweat it!!!!!!

From the first day, I have eaten all the pecans I want. Half a cup has 3.6 net carbs with 5.6g of fiber. Its a low-carb diet, not a no-carb diet.

Keeps me very regular, I use no other fiber supplements.

the mac nuts I've seen are salte dand I don't know what else is on the (a major Hawaiin brand..). Are those ok, or are we only allowed plain uncoated nuts?

I eat 1 oz. of roasted peanuts (4 carbs) when I get hungry in the afternoons at work. I only buy them from the vending machine, not in cans, because then I would be tempted to eat too many.

Attention Macadamia Nut lovers:

CVS drug stores often run sales on their private label dry roasted nuts. The sale price is $2.50/12.5 oz. jar. Much more reasonable than the MaunaLoa premium brand. I've also found a good sale at Kroger too. You might find them at a better price, in bulk, at a health food store or large grocer.

Dr. Atkins loved Macadamia nuts and sang their praises in his last interview with Larry King in January. He said he often grabbed a handful as a quick lunch on the run.
