First, mega congrats to Gringo on his good start. It worked out well for me too when I first started. Day 3 I went through a woozy feeling for an hour or so, coincident I believe with my switching to fat burning, but then after that I felt l ike I should be running across the Serengeti! As you proceed, your change in diet will be easier with more options since you will be able to eat more carbs.

BTW your food choices are cool! With my immediate friends who were having trouble on Atkin's, just giving them some simple ideas, like using lettuce wraps to make sandwiches, got them through it. So thanks for your ideas.

Another thing, is there a forum where we can put our favorite ideas/concoctions to get us through feeling bored with our foods? Or does one of us have to start a thread? This is really the first time I have been on a forum and I really barely know how to reply. And wish I knew how to do pictures and stuff. But in the meantime, what about favorite food ideas?

Thanks again, Gringo. Got to pick up some jicama!
