Smile its my first day too!!

howdy there! wanted to wish you lots of luck on the low carb diet!!!

I actually began today too, and let me tell you, this was not the easy task. NOT as if I was craving sweets at all .. just little things, I never had any idea had so many carbs in them. Atkins says the "induction" period only allows 20 a day for the first 2 weeks! **yikes** I'm pretty sure I'm in that range... my only problem is dealing with the high amounts of fat ... that seems most odd to me!

As far as munching, boy oh boy, from one muncher to another I have done my best to dig up some sites where they have ideas!!! I thought I share a few with you!
Beef Jerky
Strawberries w/cream cheese
macadamia (sp) nuts
celery w/dip
deviled egg
pepperoni crisps ( i guess you nuke em and they crisp up )
Sunflower seeds
string cheese
sugar free gummi worms

i thought I had more but I'm strapped for ideas... one of the posts somewhere had a HUGE list of things to take in the car or make ~ home... I like it a lot! And if you havent already, get the atkins new diet revolution book...
it has LOADS of recipes and snack ideas in the back!!!
good luck! keep me "posted!"
