Peanuts on the induction pahse of atkins?

Question

I bought the homeade peanut butter that has nothing but peanuts... Can my husband have this on the 1st phase of atkins? He has been on it for 6 days.

Answer 1

My understanding is that you don't use nuts until after the induction phase.

Also, if you are using the test strips, you may notice that eating nuts in the on-going weight loss phase will keep your husband from getting good results on the strips -- meaning that nuts are slowing his weight loss. This can vary with people. Keep track of how it effects your husband.

Follow the diet the way Dr. Atkins presents it, and you/your husband will have good results. Only eight more days to go, and you will have a great start to a whole new lifestyle. Good luck.
