Hi and welcome

Altho they are allowed later on Atkins, neither peanuts nor peanut butter are for induction. Also, I can't emphasize enough the importance of drinking the minimum 8--8 ounce glasses of water per day. Especially if you want your weight loss to continue, (even tho it won't continue as fast as you started)--it WILL continue if you follow the plan correctly.

And that means eating vegetables, plenty of fat, and drinking your water! The reason for induction is to break our addictions to sugar, flour, etc. If you continue to eat/drink things that are sweet (even SF lemonade) it isn't going to help you break the addictions.

Atkins is about learning to eat in a healthy manner, and that means eating as few processed foods as possible. Fresh meat, eggs, VEGETABLES, with plenty of olive oil, butter and mayo.

Perhaps reading through the book again to refresh your memory about the induction rules would be helpful to you too!

Good luck!

O.K. I'm with Liz, here, 6 carbs???? Sorry that is not Atkins! Have you read the book?? If you have been on this for that long eating only 6 carbs a day and a bit of salad, That sort of thing is what gives the low carb diets a bad rap from the public and most Dr. and rightly so, it's not healthy.
I'm not Blasting you just getting a point across,it is great that you have lost the weight, but I can't help thinking some how your body is going to pay for the lack of veggies /fruit/grains, that should be reintroduced If you are following Atkins.

How about updated your stats on the profile, it'a a bit confusing
