A couple of questions...

[shrinky]

Hi there. Just wanted to check with all you experts re supplements. I'm taking Basic #3, the Essential Oils pills, the psyllium husks, and that's it. Should I also stock up on the other 2 Atkins tablets (Dieter's Advantage plus one whose name I can't remember)? Should I be taking extra vit c? Q10? Anything else?

Also, I can't see any sign in the book of peanut butter being allowed during induction, but a friend who's done the diet assures me that it's allowed, along with olives. Is she right??


Thanks for any help

Peanut butter is not allowed. Olives - 10-20 are okay under the "special category foods" - but here's a link to the Acceptable Foods list. If it's not on this list, it shouldn't be crossing your lips. Be sure to check the stickies on the Induction forum here, and get your hands on a copy of DANDR. As for the vits - everything you need is addressed in Chapter 23.
