I think you've done great, fluffy!
Try to look upon it this way: Yes, you've gone by the "older" version of Atkins, but that's still *extremely* lowcarb compaired to what you ate before switching to this new WOE. You've made a great health choice and your body has thanked you by dumping 5 lbs already.
I don't think you've messed up anything by eating your cottage cheese. You know, some people skip induction completely and start directly on OWL. They still lose weight and live happily ever after.
The Induction is just a "kick start", not a must.
Sometimes we can sound hardcore religious about it here on the board, but after all, it's just a way of eating and individual fluctuations must be allowed. By the end of the day, only you can decide what you can live with long term.
As for the updates of Atkins. Since it has been ongoing researches in the background all the time, inevitably there must be revisions in his plan. These changes are for the health benefit of us, who live according to it.
As it is now, everything in the American 2002 version (latest), the Brittish 2003 version (also the latest) and on the atkins.com website are the same. (As far as I know.) The newest version of the book is only about £5 in paperback, so maybe it's worth investing in?

Ps. Oh, and about the LC frankenfood out there, whether it carries the Atkins logo or not, I think it's rubbish. Just another way to earn money for the companies producing the crap.
