I know what you mean! I used to be driven by cravings all day... I even found that if I ate breakfast I was hungrier all day than if I skipped it!! Of course, when "breakfast" means "doughnut" the problem is easy to see...NOW!

Although Atkins says you can snack, be aware that other plans like the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet don't allow it. They have one or two low-carb meals, then the reward meal a day. I never thought I could go without my snacks, but have been experimenting, and find that once I cut them down, some days OUT, I'm starting to lose again.

That's the beauty of it, we're now in control of food, not controlled BY it. We can design the program around how we feel and what our bodies need.

Liberating, isn't it?
