    when, if ever, is honey allowed?

    My husband recently started atkins with me. He has lost like 18 lbs in TWO WEEKS (although he started heavier 238 and he is barely 5' 10"). He is more of less doing a modified induction (not me, Im trying to go by the books.) I am on the nuts and seeds rung now (although, I don't think I am going to eat many as they cause bad cravings).

    WEll my husband brought home this AWESOME diet green tea made with SPLENDA> Well, I tried some and LOVE it. But after I drank like 2 oz. I became nervous and decided to look at the ingredients. Low and behold "honey" is on the list... The carb count for the tea is under 1 gram per 8 oz. It says 0 calories per 8 ounces..

    NOt sure what to think. Can I have this drink? WHen, if ever, is honey allowed?

    I may get this wrong, but my impression is that honey is basically sugar, so I have no idea.

      Hate to say this, but I think honey is just one of those foods we should steer clear of permanently. It is still a sugar, and...sugar is sugar after all. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

        No I think your right. Honey is going to be a no no for a very long time.

          I wouldn't add it back until Maintenance phase.
