I'm into my sixth week of Atkins (18lbs lost so far) so am up to eating about 35g of carbs a day and experimenting with introducing new foods. In the first week I added berries, then it was peanuts (3.5g per 50g bag depending on which brand you get). I'm also now enjoying fromage frais (5g per pot) and the occasional glass of wine. In my last week, I've even had a slice of brown bread at breakfast in the mornings and a bar of Green & Blacks Organic chocolate (11g per 20g bar) at lunch. I'm still losing about a pound a day.

Therefore, my question to you is: have you been surprised by what you can add to your diet? And is anyone out there at the stage where they can get away with the occasional portion of rice or French Fries?
