Atkins sure is different than real life... I'll be in the grocery store going up and down the aisles saying to myself, nope, can't have that, nope, not allowed to have that... It seems 95% of the store is off limits and that can be demoralizing at first.
But !! After you stop feeling bad you are gonna start feeling Good! Then that pesky hunger is going to go away. Then you aren't going to Care that you don't have side dishes and carb laden foods... All ya gotta do is make it through the 14 days and then see how you feel... (and how much weight you have lost) is just a side benefit
