Cream Cheese?

[HelpImHeavy]

Hi,

I'm very new to the Atkins diet and I am just finishing my 2nd week of induction. I want to stay on the induction phase as long as possible but I am getting tired of the food I've been eating and I'm a bit confused about what the book says I can have.

For example, according to the book I can have cream cheese. However, all the cream cheese brands I see in the store have about 2g of sugars per every 2 Tbsp. I thought during induction I couldnt have sugars?

I really wish I understood this, because that "mock danish" sounds great.

Thanks

Re: Cream Cheese?

It depends on the source of the sugars. Check the ingredients of the cream cheese. If it has sugars listed, it is not recommended. The sugars on the nutrition info list is probably from the lactose not from added sugar or sucrose.
