    Dr. Atkins was quite clear regarding Induction...."Eat NOTHING that is not on the acceptable foods list". That being said, to answer your questions....no, greek yogurt (or any yogurt for that matter) is not permitted during Induction. It would be added on the 2nd rung of the carb ladder during the OWL phase of Atkins
    Soy is a legume, therefore, it also is not permitted during Induction and would also be added during OWL on the 6th rung of the carb ladder.
    I hope that helps
    All the best to you!

    Thanks Jersey!
    I'll check the exp date if I have some time I'll stick it in the back of the fridge
    if not I'll pawn it off on someone else! As for the soy creamer it will meet mr garbage on Monday!
    I'm going to Try Linda's Low carb spinach Lasagna! Just with Turkey
    I had WLS and me and fatty or really dense meat are NOT FRIENDS!
    Thanks!!
