Ok in the rules of induction it says I can have mayonnaise yumm, but mayonnaise isn't listed on the list of acceptable foods. Can I have mayo or not? :(
I don't want to ruin my induction so I thought I would ask the opinion of you guys since I know who the real experts are (you guys)!
Trying to do it right while looking up to those who have battled before me....

Just make sure it is the kind with 0 carbs. Some brands add sugar and they have 1 or 2 carbs per serving.

I have Kraft real Mayo here it says zero carbs on the top and in the nutritional info it say 0 carbs, and 0 sugars but it does have sugar listed in the ingredients so I'm guessing that it's a no am I right? I'll have to look into other brands I certainly don't want to stall my weight loss just because I ate a little mayo.

I use the Kraft brand all the time. I think you are Ok as long as you stay away from light mayo. I use quite a bit of mayo when I make up chicken salad, and I never had a problem.
As far as the sugar, I thought any sugar added would be listed as a carb. So I'm a little puzzled by this. But I have been using the kraft real mayo, and have consistantly lost weight.
Does anyone know what Atkins recomended? I have a feeling maybe it was to make your own Mayo. (I don't have the time for this). If you are really concerned, try seeing if Atkins has a recipe.

I use the Kraft Real Mayo, make tuna/chicken/egg salad all the time, and am losing, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it for induction. :)

My guess is that there is so little sugar in 1 tablespoon, that it doesn't even equal a carb per serving.
I checked my label too, and there is corn syrup added but no carbs in 1 tbl.
Some regular mayonaise brands must put more sugar in theirs because it is one carb per serving. Someone was talking about it on here a while ago but I can't remember the name of the brand.
As long as it is 0 carbs, I wouldn't worry about it. :)
