What Can I Eat on Atkins Induction?

Pile of Fresh Summer Vegetables
Atkins Induction is Not Zero Carb
It Now Allows Vegetables
Whether you're doing Atkins 72 or Atkins 2002, Atkins Induction is going to be the strictest phase you have to pass through on your journey to health.

In 1972, the introductory phase allowed for less than 10 full grams of carbohydrates per day.

Just:
  • 2 cups of loosely packed greens
  • couple of raw vegetables to make that salad tolerable
  • couple of eggs
  • and a few ounces of cheese
was all the carbohydrate you got. 

Today, the Atkins Diet allows 20 net grams for the initial 2-week period called Induction.

Compared to the average American diet, which consists of 300 to 500 carbohydrates per day, your carbohydrate intake during this first phase of the Atkins Diet is going to be extremely restrictive. 

There is no getting around that.

Induction serves a specific purpose, and 20 net carbs per day has been found to be a highly reliable limit that accomplishes that purpose for most people.

However, the restrictiveness does scare a lot of folks. 

If you're new to low-carb eating and come from a dietary background that was super heavy on carbohydrate, you may find it difficult to plan your meals. If you're following the Atkins Nutritionals Inc. guidelines, you might be confused as well. Those on an extended Induction plan might be bored to tears by now.

In this post, I'm going to try and help you dissolve your fears and clear up your confusion by showing you what you can eat on Atkins Induction, as well as how to make Phase 1 fun and exciting.
