I am on my 2nd day of Adkins and am cravvvvvving candy and pop and donuts, etc. I have allowed myself diet soda (no carbs no sugar) as long as I limit myself. Are sugar free candies okay to have while on induction of the adkins plan?

Generally, it's a bad idea. It keeps the craving cycle going. The only way to get rid of the cravings is to go cold turkey and ride it out. Even diet soda can keep the cravings going. Anything with artificial sweeteners can.

Having said that, I still drink diet soda because it doesn't seem to affect me, but I think I'm in the minority.

If you truly are hungry, remember to go ahead and eat. Eat a protein snack, and be sure to be getting enough fat to be satisfied.
