Equal chocolate hard candy

[aileenca]

Hello, today is my 1st day, again. Well I was craving something sweet (chocolate) and I found sugar free candies. Equal hard candy and they were good. One piece is 3g of carbs. They also have sweet and low caramels or something like that. I liked them they took away the craving..

Aileenca - you spent 3 grams of carb on one piece of candy??!

Induction is a time for you to conquer your cravings. It's a time for you to clean out your system and rid yourself of these addictions. It's a time to go back to basics. It's a time to test your resolve to the program and to test your level of metabolic resistance - something you are not going to be able to do accurately if you don't stick to the plan!

If it's not on the Induction Allowed Foods List - don't eat it - and that includes all the SF candy and bars.

Feeding your cravings perpetuates them. Eating the candy may have taken your craving away for the moment - but the cravings will continue as long as you feed them and you're spending valuable carbs on junk food rather than real food! Dr. Atkins has given us the tools to conquer the cravings, all you have to do is follow the rules.

In the year I've been haunting low-carb boards, I have *never* seen anyone say they were sorry they did a completely clean induction, but I promise you I've seen zillions wonder if they'd have had better success if they had done it cleanly.

Low carb junk food is still junk food.

You can do it without it and you won't be sorry!

I wish you success

Hello, today is my 1st day, again.

I think that says it all Day one again. You didn't master your cravings last time and you are back again. You will not succeed until you control the food and not let that little piece of candy control you. Candy isn't part of induction so now in the morning you will be on day one again

Set your mind to it and just do it. 14 days isn't that much. Find other things to satisfy your needs and you will become a happy loser.
