So today i ate about 90 grams in carbs from mints. I know fully well that I shouldn ' t have eating them but i sorta of lost control. This isn ' t my first time on Atkins and I am at day 2 of induction. Im just jolt if I have ruined my chances of success in induction?

Exactly. Keep going. The only time you ruin your chance of success is when you quit trying. So you ' ll take an extra day to get into ketosis, so what? In the whole scheme of the rest of your life, what ' s one day? Throw any of those mints you might still have around and don ' t mess up tomorrow.
Speaking of the mints... what happened? Were you hungry? Stressed? Tired? What prompted you to have the first one?

I totally need to know.... how many mints was that?
Like a tic tac has a bit under 1 carb, i think.
That would be a helluva lot of mints.

But if it was a different kind of mint... like Brach ' s Kentucky mints, those are 16 g carb for 7 mints.
And Brach ' s Star Bright Mints have 5 carbs EACH. Those are the ones that are round with the red swirls on the edges... think candy cane disks.
And Andie ' s mints are 22 carbs for 8 pieces.
90 carbs is certainly a LOT of candy mints ( probably a whole bag )... but not impossible to eat if you ' re on a binge.

your breath must have been kickass.
Don ' t sweat it,,, everyone messes up eventually.
I cracked the other night and had a Atkins shake.. I don ' t usually go for the fake sweets when I ' m still in weight loss mode, but I wanted something to mix with my protein powder and I felt like a treat was deserved.
