I too found that the strips are alot cheaper on Ebay. I know that you are either in ketosis or you are not but I like to see if I am or am not, sometimes several times a day! ha Does that mean I am anal-retentive! ha

As far as the media goes I copied the Atkins website article and forwarded to the two TV stations that I saw the false reports on. I am venting to them.

The Carb Smart pasta sauces could be put on chicken for a cheesy chicken with broccali or something. I made chicken basted in spicy mustard and mayo (equal parts) and broiled it. We used the BBQ sauce to dip it in and was delicious. It was about a hundred times better than the Atkins brand. I wish I could find low carb canned tomatoes someplace. Does anyone know if there is such a thing. I would love to make a beanless chili with chunks of tomato. I love tomatoes and it is a pity they are higher in carbs. I miss my juice... I still try to follow induction.
