I know we're not supposed to have grain, and bla dee bla, BUT, I found that having 4tbs of unprocessed wheat bran every day mixed with cream is the only thing that works for me. That uses up nearly half my carb allowance, but if I am to live with this plan permanently everything has to "work properly" or I am not going to be healthy. I really struggled for the first few weeks on Atkins, and was not willing to live the rest of my life like that on top of trying to count everything. It can't be healthy and it certainly isn't fun! I guess we all just have to find what works for us and be willing to do it.
