Ditto on appreciation for the links... I think the funny thing is that the "low fat, carbs for fuel" concept has been drilled into our heads for so long that the idea of using FAT for fuel is sometimes hard to swallow... literally!!! It's taken a while to adjust to cooking with real butter and lots of olive oil and eating more meat than I thought was humanly possible...

This morning was my tri-weekly power pilates class and even though I was late and in a hurry to get to class, I managed to make my special "microwave" omelet. I basically throw together some leftovers (this morning it was roasted chicken and broccoli) with beaten eggs in a bowl and then microwave until the eggs start to fluff up. I know it sounds crazy but it works.... I didn't have any energy crashes at all during my class.

Although it is hard to completely change the way you buy groceries and the way that you eat (especially when you are in a hurry or on the road), the Atkins diet WORKS and it has always worked for me. I'm a total believer for life!!!!
