You still have to keep carbs low, so that means steering clear of fruits and some veggies that have a high sugar content - bananas and carrots, e.g. But not nearly as bad as the induction phase.

Another problem I have with it is I LOVE bread and real butter. Probably my favorite food. I’ve started eating sprouted grain bread. It’s different, but good and low salt to boot.

I’ve done Atkins and lost about 13 lbs.-got pretty trim. Kept about half of it off. I rarely eat sweets or snack foods of any kind - just ice cream once or twice a month. IMO, that’s THE key to weight loss and maintenance.

On Atkins you can have real butter. In fact, it is encouraged because it has flavor. You also mentioned you love bread. I do, too. But I found that even one bite sets up an almost irresistable craving for bread so I totally leave that off. After just a few days away from bread, I don’t crave it as I did.
