"cheese, tomatoes, mayonnaise"

Actually, you CAN have these.

From the Induction Foods list:

"Keep in mind that cheese does contain carbs, about 1 gram per once. You may have about 3 to 4 ounces
of cheese per day. An ounce is about the size of an individually wrapped slice of American cheese.


Cheese including:
Type... Serving Size... Net Carbs



Blue cheeses 1 oz, 0.7


Cheddar ½ cup, 0.0


Cow, sheep and goat 1 oz, 0.3


Cream cheese 1 oz, 0.8


Feta 1 oz, 1.2


Gouda 1 oz, 0.6


Mozzarella 1 oz, 0.6


Parmesan 1 tbs, 0.2
Swiss 1 oz, 1.0"

"Tomato 1 raw, 4.3 net grams"

"Fats and Oils – No net carbs here, but keep in mind the serving size is approximately 1 tablespoon.
* Mayonnaise – make sure there is no added sugar"

There are some good quality mayonnaises out there... look for one without sugar (I think Trader Joe is one brand without sugar added). If you can't find one without sugar, buy one with sugar listed at the end of the ingredient list (4th or more). The label will probably say "0 carbs" because there is less than 1g carb per serving. That doesn't mean the mayo is carb free... so be conservative when serving yourself commercial mayonnaise. Atkins says one TBS is a serving. The fraction of a carb in one tablespoon won't hinder your weight loss. But if you're scooping it out with a large spoon (think "dollop"), it could be an issue. One TBS is NOT a lot of mayonnaise. If you have a blender or immersion blender, it's pretty easy to make it yourself. I do this when I can't find a mayonnaise made without soybean oil.
