I've been following Atkins to the letter for 2 months and I've lost 20 lbs along with my craving for sweets and food in general. My diet has been limited to eggs, meat, cheese, veggies and a handful of walnuts on occasion and I've been doing great. Well...that is until I decided to add strawberries to my diet yesterday. I only had 3 strawberries with cream cheese along with some meat. Then all the cravings came back...how depressing I decided to just throw them away to stop the temptation But I am still left wondering why such a small amount would set me off like that. My carbs for the day was only 23.
