Bottomline I know this woe is good 4 me because I feel better. But I do miss comfort food like mac n cheese, pizza & a glass of red wine followed by ice cream and brownies. For now I am going to move on to rung 1 in the hope that extra choices of food can keep me going.
Thanks for the info here.

Brownies: you can make some with almond flour and unsweetened chocolate (or cocoa, I guess) once you reach OWL Rung 3
Ice cream (watch your heavy cream, which during Induction and OWL Rung 1 is limited to 2-3 tablespoons as a beverage and 3 oz as a "Special Category Food"): http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...er-recipe.html (Ice Cream Master Recipe)

"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!"
