c. both a. and b. are correct
d. neither a. nor b. are correct.
ANSWER: a. Roast turkey, 1 cup each sauteed summer squash and mushrooms, 3 tablespoons heavy cream, whipped with a packet of splenda

Each of these vegetables can be eaten in the acceptable daily amounts during Induction. 3 tablespoons of heavy cream is permissible as well as the packet of Splenda. Like the vegetables, they can be consumed at their appropriate amounts.

Sugar-free Jello Brand gelatin is sweetened with aspartame, which is the artificial sweetener Dr. Atkins said to avoid.

Good one Megs.

Just a note that word most induction friendly for number 7 doesn't mean we should be having that much splenda sweetened heavy cream as heavy cream is in the special cataGORY FOODS and some folk will be doing a perfect Atkins induction and not able to handle that amount if any cream.

happy low carbing.
