I have decided to do an extended induction because this is what works for me. I had really bad leg cramps the other night so I drank more water and it didn't help. I have been horrible when it comes to taking my vitamin! I really needed some relief so I ate a banana. While it didn't throw me off I felt guilty about eating it crazy to feel guilty about eating fruit. But I keep telling myself that I CAN have my fruit again. Induction is not FOREVER! Kind of silly when you think about "cheating" with fruit Have a great day everyone.

Yes...you sure can have fruit again. Climbing the rungs of Atkins really widens the varieties of yummy foods we can include in our menus.

Good for you on your weight loss, and it's very smart to be flexible, certainly no one has to stay in induction forever!

There was a time when I used to get leg cramps. My dr told me to take 2 tums a day - it has Na carbonate or bicarbonate -can't remember but it worked like a charm! I don't know how many carbs tums has - you would have to check but worth a shot!
