    I check everything I eat against the acceptable food list -- the book says if it's not on the list don't eat it - so that's why I go by. Many people eat things that aren't on the list and seem to have no problems, but I go by the book. (What foods can be eaten on Induction?)http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/atkins-low-carb-dieting-faqs/6781-what-foods-can-eaten-induction.html)

    What you should be looking at is not just the carb count, look at the ingredients - if you don't find ingredients listed on something don't buy it. Also, make sur eyou know what a serving size is -- manufacturers like to fool us into eating or drinking more....one examples is soda - each can is listed as 2 servings....same with soup - always more than 1 serving in a container.

    I constantly check ingredients, serving size, and enter them into my FitDay account to see where I am during the day. To find out what was in A1 Steak Sauce I went to google and typed in "ingredients A1 Steak Sauce" and found out.

      You can use mayo if it's homemade, or Hellman's. As long as it doesn't have corn syrup or sugars, just egg, vinegar, oil and salt, you are OK.

        Hellman's mayo does have sugar in it. Most people are fine consuming that tiny amount of sugar though.

        Other brands are fine too... as long as it's real mayo, not some Miracle Whip stuff.

              Just to be sure about the mayo--I did check the book, and mayo is on the list of acceptable foods. NOT Miracle Whip, or "cole slaw dressing", which are nasty anyway.
              That reminded me of the German lady who lived next door to me when I was in jr high, who made her own mayonaise. It was fab!!!!
