Actually this is one of the things that totally blows me away. I went from having this major food obsession like I was controlled by a carb demon and pretty much as soon as I started this, the cravings went away. I make sure to eat healthy food and have to say that the Atkins critics are just so wrong when they say we don't eat healthy. With the allowable veggies, I'm eating more veggies than I've ever eaten before on a regular basis. I make menus but they are very simple. I keep a few hardboiled eggs and pepperoni sticks in the fridge so I don't have a slip. I did have one about three weeks ago with a scone and then had some kind of weird idea that I could eat strawberries and wondered why I wasn't losing. So, the strawberries went in the freezer and I'm back on track and like a lot of you have said, not only am not having cravings, but have very little interest in food altogether. This is what I have been dreaming about for years, decades!! Even when I see carb stuff, its like its just stuff, not something I am remotely interested in. And then last week I went out and bought ketostix and YAHOO!!! I'm in ketosis!!!
And yeah, I like the support too. I like that I'm not doing this in isolation. I can talk about it to people who know exactly what I'm talking about. Hello, my name is Sharon and I'm a carb addict.
