Induction is all about retraining your body to be in fat-burning mode. You want to rid yourself of cravings and reliance on treats. Sugar-free jello with real whipped cream is a good standard dessert (if you really need one) during Induction.

According to the latest Atkins book, nuts are not allowed during Induction (only during OWL, as Scruffy said). The cream cheese is fine on Indction -- you can have 3 to 4 ounces of cheese a day, with each ounce counting as 1 carb.

Trust me. If you do clean Induction (no treats, very limited use of sweeteners), your body will quickly get accustomed to not "needing" treats.

But, it's your call. If you feel you really want the cheesecake as an occasional treat, make it without the nut crust, and make the portions extremely small. A taste is all you need. It freezes extremely well. Take advantage of that.
