    Hi, Avocado is induction friendly, you are allowed 1/2 a small avocado per day.

    As for the count, I found this on a site called www.carb-information.com I don't know anything about that site so if someone else has different info I hope they will post it.

    Food Item:Avocado, raw
    Food Quantity: 1 oz
    Carbs: 2.2g
    Dietary Fiber: 1.6g
    Net Carbs: 0.6g
    Grant
    x20

    Consecutive days nuts free - 0
    Consecutive work days commuted by bike - 5

      They are absolutely legal and a fantastic way to handle cravings, because they have a small amount of carbs and a ton of fat.

      About 1 net carb per 1/2 avocado. (you subtract your fiber from your carbs )

            They are legal and yummy. I found last time I did Atkins that they did slow my weightloss down a bit. Probably just me. Most people have something that will slow them down. But it's something to be aware of anyway.

              The lowish net carbs are for the black knobbly skinned one - the green ones are much more carby!
              Fitday has half of a green one as being about 5 net carbs, so for induction they might push your carb count too high.
              Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
              Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                They are legal. The Atkins book says you can have one half per day on Induction.
