I read a line in Atkin's book that fit me to a T. He said "Did you ever have a big meal, with dessert, and then an hour later you were looking for something sweet to eat?" That is what being addicted to carbs is all about. When I went on induction I found that the carb cravings really went away. I use low or no carb products to allow me to have goodies so I leave the high carb stuff alone. I am fortunate because I like to cook (most of the time) and I have time to cook. I like pizza with meat crust but have just ordered some low carb pizza crust mix as it have gotten great reviews. It can also be used to make Italian foccocia (sp) bread.

I look at this the way I would look at smoking. Once I lost the craving for carbs, I don't want to eat them again and then have to go through the withdrawal again. I use my carbs for veggies, nuts and low carb stuff. Even my husband is enjoying our meals and normally he is a breakfast cereal and spaghetti hound.

Good luck. You can find really enjoyable things to eat without carbs.
