What if I'd asked if I could have a thin wafer of chocolate?

Pure chocolate, like Godiva or the expensive bars you find in gourmet shops, is on the Atkins diet. Not a lot of it, but chocolate is OK.

Ah...something to look forward to. I can almost taste it -- Godiva chocolate.....mmmmmmmmm.

OK. I need some encouragement here. I have been slavishly following the Induction Phase of Atkins for one week. I weighed this morning for the first time since I started and I haven't lost a single pound! I'm really bummed!

I've eaten less than 20 carbs every day and drunk at least 9 glasses of water + decaf tea (not counted). I'm not exercising yet, but hope to start slowly at that tomorrow. How long should I stick with this odd way of eating?
