Hi, Seth! Congrats on getting back into LCing! Now...stay there!

As far as the caffeine goes... I can cause problems...try to wean yourself off. Same goes for Aspertame...stick to Splenda or stevia.

As for supplements, I take the Atkins Basic #3 and Atkins Essential Oils. Don't know how much good they do, but guess thay can't hurt.

About the bars and other goodies, like SF candy...I'm afraid to try them. I have heard of too many people who get carb and sugar cravings after eating them. I have no willpower (one of the reasons I love Atkins!) so I don't want to tempt fate right now!

Best of luck...you'll do great! And read the book!

BTW, Thelma, Bluto was an idiot and everyone knew he didn't know what the h*** he was talking about! It was supposed to be a joke! I would hope anyone with an IQ of 12 would know the truth...that it was the Russians who bombed Pearl Harbor!
