Hi Phoenix, welcome to the board! Don't worry about getting bored eating ATkins. There are alot of great recipes out there. There are wonderful recipes here on this board too. I eat alot of meat and green veggies and limit myself on stuff like califlower, squash and such. And occasionally I treat myself to strawberries or Canteloupe (1 cup). I have learned to cook a completely new way. Even my family loves the way I cook now although I still make them starchy veggies and pasta just for them . Take care and I look forward to seeing your posts. Tammy
