can i skip 2 rungs??

[superjane]

ok i'm still on induction right now, but i have a question about OWL.

the 2nd rung is cheese, and the third is nuts and seeds,and the 4th is berries.
so i was wondering if i could skip the cheese and the nuts and go straight to the 4th rung (berries).
i have a slight allergy to nuts or anything with nuts in it,so i wouldnt eat those even when on maintenance atkins. and as for the cheese,well i just cant eat too much cheese or i gag.3oz of cheese is my very maximum.

so..could i skip those 2 and go straight to berries??

thanx guys

i'm not 100% sure as I've only been on atkins for 3 months now (never did it before) - but looking to me like you're about halfway to goal - I'd say probably yes. HOWEVER...as for the diary run - it's not all about cheese - you CAN add low carb/legal yogurts, milk (only 5 grams of carbs though - remember that) but i know you CAN skip a run if you're allergic (such as nuts).

If you have an allergy to nuts, then by all means stay away from them.

Rung 2 doesn't have only fresh cheeses like ricotta or cottage cheese, but also yogurt, milk, more heavy cream, more sour cream, etc. If you don't plan to have any of these... ever... then yes, you can skip Rung 2.
