I'm new to this as well - I've been easing myself into the Atkins induction but have stuck to it pretty well (except for a few diet cokes which I'm trying to cut out), I guess it's easier for me to not put pressure on myself!!

I don't think I would be able to cheat on weekends and then get straight back on the diet, but if it works for you and you keep losing then I don't see the problem. Good luck!
