NUTS! I buy almonds with sea salt. LOADED with vitamins and fiber. No need to cook them, thaw them out, etc. I keep a jar at work on my desk and one at home to hit as soon as I walk in the door if I'm starving. (That's when I used to hit the chips. ) One serving of 24 nuts (almonds) is 2 net carbs. When I need something, I usually count out 10 to keep me at 1 net carb. Planters also has a "Nutrition - Heart Healthy Mix" that is also 2 net carbs. So easy, so good, and so good FOR you! In the book (pre-2002) Dr. A recommends a handful of walnuts as a good snack. Most new to Atkins say you can't have nuts til later.... but I'm an Atkins friend from WAY back when nuts were allowed from the very first day and all you had to do was count carbs.... no rungs. The original Atkins diet was big on natural foods... very limited on processed foods... and nuts are very natural.
