One of the Rules of Induction is to eat only the foods listed in the Induction Food List. Is a banana listed there? If not, then you definitely were not following Atkins Induction.

Getting into the habit of checking the list in order to make sure a food is appropriate for your phase of Atkins, before eating it, will save you alot of headaches. The "eat first, ask questions later" mentality is a recipe for failure (sorry, but I've been around this board long enough and have read other posts like yours to say that.)

As for your "day" of Atkins, you just pick up where you left off. Remember too that it takes about 2 days to get your body into ketosis. So, while you've been on the diet for 4 or 5 days, you've only been in ketosis for 3 days at the most. You better hope you're one of those people who aren't highly metabolically resistant to weight loss and this banana hasn't set you back very far.

Hi Debbie!

A banana is not allowed during induction, but you know that by now and you came here for support so...look at this as a new day! You have already lost weight but that might change too, so don't be discouraged. Just get back on the plan and make this a great day! You are still doing great and I'll bet you are still eating a ton better than you were last week so live and learn.

And we are on day 5! Woohoo!

Check out the wallet sized list under this forum of what you can have on induction. I printed it out and I carry it with me.

As for me, I am doing okay-just really moody. And when I get moody, stressed with the kids, I want to eat-chocolate, those yummy looking cherries in the produce section...but I have managed to avoid them all so far. I can't wait to see the scale and measurements on day 14!

Come on girl, I am here for you!

Re: I Ate A Banana! .......................

I was naive like you thinking bananas couldn't have THAT much suger. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are the worse. A good rule to remember about fruits is that the lighter they are in color the more sugar it has. Dont be discouraged, just dust yourself off and try again. Look at this way, all berries and cool whip are allowed in the later stages of this WOE!!!!
