Default Re: Let's talk shakes

Thanks, everybody, for the input. Like I said in the beginning, I'm a big advocate of whole foods and would never recommend replacing a meal with a shake. I do think it is an individual thing. And Brook, I really do respect your positions as I greatly admire your accomplishment. Your words carry a lot of weight. It has been more than one page, though. (You ALL count, for sure - I'm just familiar with who Brook is ... I'll stop now before I dig this hole any deeper!)

This is the first time doing this that I've run in to the sugar free jello taboo thing, unless of course it causes you to stall. Believe me - the times I've failed Atkins before have NOT been caused by sugar free jello (For the record, I've not eaten any in the last two weeks. But I will likely add it occassionally after today - Day 14.)

Goodness, I hope I'm not sounding like the Atkins . That is sure not my intent.
