 Re: cool whip | |
It's not only about carbs, but about ingredients too. That's why you have to check the nutritional label and the list of ingredients. 
Cool whip contains corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup. These are nasty sugars, so they are not allowed on Atkins. They are not good for your health either.
Better make yourself some whipped cream using real cream and some sweetener allowed on Atkins.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
