Also don't forget that you can have some great full fat dressings on that lettuce now as well. I'm personally a fan of caesar dressing. Just watch for carbs especially added sugar!

And to Sunny's point, not only can you wrap a burger, but you can also make "sandwiches" with lettuce. For example, I will take a romaine leaf and put mayo, cheese, ham and turkey slices and maybe bacon and top it with another lettuce leaf.

I haven't done this for ever but I just remembered...romaine leaves make great little boats for tuna or chicken salad. Mmmm...maybe that's what I'll have for lunch tomorrow.

Successfully did Atkins in 1998 using 1992 copy of the book...before it was "hip". Lost 60lbs, exercised daily, felt and looked great. And then I moved in with a junk-food loving man, my mom got sick and passed away, then I suffered a spinal cord injury, and junk-food dude left me...and now I weigh 292lbs. That's 22lbs MORE than I weighed the first time around. It's 10 years later...I know this will work for me again.
