I'm doing Atkins the old way too..not doing net carbs.. sticking to induction like the New Diet Revolution book. All I can share is that it took me a month into it..to really start feeling the weight come off. So, give it a good amount of time and stick with it.
I'd be careful of bottled dressings and whipped cream desserts. Keep reading his induction guidelines over and over so you stick to it. Be careful with your cream and cheese, olives, pickles. and read the "hidden carbs" thread under the tips portion of this site. It is most helpful.
