        What would you rather have, two teaspoons of ice cream one time, or all you can eat steak and bacon and lose weight? I'll take the meat every time.

          Step away from the freezer...and the icecream!
          Instead, reach for a fat snack...pronto! It will help with the cravings. Also buy yourself some L-Glutamine and take it every day, your cravings will subside.
          Try eating a dill pickle, sometimes that will do the trick.
          Do you have sour cream and pork rinds, maybe a little salsa? How about some boiled eggs diced with some mayo or cream cheese and celery. Pumpkin is allowed, sweeten some up with pumpkin spice and cream cheese.
          If you feed the sweet cravings....you'll keep getting sweet cravings. Best to stomp that monster out now.
          Something that Doug Kaufman from Know the Cause always says "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten"
          Just hang in there. Once you get to the dairy rung you can make your own atkins icecream. REALLY!

                At Lindas site, she has a few desert type recipes for induction. If you really want to do this right though, you should be starving your need for the sweets, or it is never going to let go of you and it will forever maintain control. We are trying to break bad habits with this new way of life. It isnt like, I wont have ice cream for 2 weeks and when I get to my goal weight, it is pizza and candy all around. Here is Lindas site, but I beg you to think about the big picture and give it some thought before you jump on the sweets express.

                Good luck.

                    ....I don't understand about the sugar free jello.....didn't I see it on the Atkins site itself? The site gives a sample 2 week induction menu and it's on there as a snack......now I'M CONFUSED....

                      Can't you also freeze the creamcheese induction friendly thing or the pumkin thing? Also, you can if you don't use your cream allowance daily -- you are allowed diet rite on induction (opps forgot this part -- let the diet rite go flat before freezing), find the flavor you like pour a glass and add your allotment of heavy whipping cream and freeze in icescube trays. You mark on the tray how many cubes this makes and utilize that to divvy up your carb counts and cream allowance for each cube and if you only have a craving -- pop one in your mouth. Or just have a 8oz glass of favorite diet right and a lil cream -- its not icecream but the taste is there.

                      "Anything that isn’t on the acceptable food list is forbidden during the Induction phase. Don’t be tempted to just have “one bite.” Your one bite may turn into two, and then before you know it you’ll end up ruining your diet"

                      Learn what you can make with what you can have now. You will be surprised what you can do with things offered.

                        We follow the 2002 book here and Atkins and the problem is not with the jello but with the sweetener. In the book Atkins says that he discourages the use of aspartame (pg 128 ) He had found that is stalled some of the people in his try-outs.

                          Yeah, If I need some jello, I use gelatin and my own sweetener and flavor. Once I had a left over coffee and cream and turned it into jello. It was great.
                          If you could find jello with splenda it would be legal and folks have talked about a brand that is made that way, but I can't find it.

                          When I get to the point where I have to have something sweet and creamy, I mix a little splenda, a little vanilla into a little cream cheese.

                            Just like the doctor ordered!!
                            And for dessert, have assorted cheeses or flavored gelatin made with sucralose and topped with whipped heavy cream.
                            Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

                              No one ever just has 2 teaspoons. It will lead to another and another, trust me.
                              It's not fear that grips me, only restlessness.
