Isn't it the best way of life, ever?!? I love to eat, that's why I started Atkins in the first place. I tried low fat diets and was starving, now doing this I can eat until i'm satisfied And now that I am 100 pounds lighter, eating until i'm satisfied does take much at all any more. it's funny because when I go to resturants, I try to order a big meal, eating like I used to and I hardly get past the salad and a few veggies before I'm asking for a doggie bag. It's amazing how LC changes your body composition as well. Just knowing that I can still eat and i"m not deprived is comforting to me, even though i can't eat like a horse anymore....aaah, the good old days
