Carrots are not allowed on Induction.

They come back on the later vegetable rungs.

On the first rung of OWL you add 5 net carbs of INDUCTION vegetables.

As J said, carrots are on the higher OWL veg rung.
I know it won't taste the same but there are a couple of similar 'feel' vegetables that are allowed on induction and OWL rung 1 - turnips and celeriac (celery root).

You need to read Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (2002)? The OWL phase, including the Carbohydrate Ladder, is explained there.

Not a substitute for the book, but this sticky thread might help: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...te-ladder.html

Please read Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, 2002 ed. There's more to OWL phase than just adding 5 net carbs of this or 5 net carbs of that willy-nilly.

Welcome to OWL
It is a wonderful place to be.
On OWL we start slow with the safe stuff before we get into adding starcy stuff like carrots and potatoes or grains and rice.
It is not about 5 carb (just like induction was not about 20 carbs) it is about the nature and the quality of those carbs. Some carbs will affect us a lot and some are safe. It depends on how glycemic they are and how sensitive we are. So we start by adding 5 carbs from the list of veggies in teh book.
Have you tried pumpkin yet?
