Liv and Zarabelle said it all.
In the beginning I felt deprived and still had those"I can't take this anymore, I want choc cake!" days.The longer I am on the plan, the more carbs I eat as I go up the ladder. Who knows what my final carb allowance will be.
We are making life changes here. At the end, you will be at your goal weight and maybe so active that you will need many carbs.
As far as cheating, I feel you are just cheating yourself.There are sooooooo many great recipes, desserts too!!!
Example, I love tacos. Who could think about eating a taco without a shell? I love taco salad(no shell). Because my body and attitude have changed. As you go on you will grow and adapt. Give yourself a chance. You'll be ok.
If not then maybe Atkins isn't for you. Only you can decide.
Good luck
