Strawberries are not allowed until Rung 4. You really do need to go by the book and adds foods in a specific order.

If you dont decide that as you ate a few mouthfuls off-plan you have blown it and might as well eat (insert your favourite non-Atkins food here) and never get back on the Atkins wagon, then I would say, no you havent messed up!
BUT Dr Atkins does say that just one bite can mess things up for you, so try to stay to the list of acceptable foods from now on.
Next time dont eat the strawberries unless you have reached the berries rung of OWL Cream cheese with splenda without the strawberries would have been fine!

I just had a bowl of strawberries with greek yogurt, which is one of my favourite occasional desserts - perfectly legally I might add!!

Re: Strawberries N Cream

A couple of strawberries probably won't cause you any big problems per sè, but as a principle try to avoid eating off plan. The more you relax the rules, the easier it is to do so and eventually you'll come a cropper.
The berry rung of OWL isn't far off. You just need a little patience.
Hang in there!
