Lime in the coconut!

[Horsenpuggy]

I am on day 13 induction and have lost 12 lbs, but i realized today i have been putting lime in my water to making it easier to drink and realized fruit is not acceptable in induction!
Does anyone know how many carbs are in a lime slice/whole fruit!?!?!

Thanks!

I wouldn't lose any sleep over this. No big deal. Unless you are putting 20 limes in every glass, I doubt it is worth counting.

I wouldn't panic either. If it would make you feel better you could use a slice of lemon as it's a special category food (check DANDR) and it's specifically mentioned as being allowed but in limited quantities.

Re: Lime in the coconut!

actually lime juice is also one of those special catagory foods page 129 of DANDR along with lemons 2-3 tablespoons a day. if it interferres with your weight loss you have to give it up though is the caveat Dr Atkins attatches to those foods.
