Hello all,

It's been a while since I've harassed this board with silly questions but here I am again (just so you don't forget me )

I'm going back to Atkins starting next week (trying to step up my weight loss although I've been doing pretty good on GO) and doing my menus. So I'm looking for advice on two things:

1. Ground meat ideas - I know it sounds weird, but I LOVE ground beef as a snack - it's a good thing to nash on (instead of the heavenly nuts I've been having with GO) and no carbs. But I'm at a loss on how to make it. Tried doing it with just salt, pepper and paprika but it turned out pretty bland. Anyone have any ideas for spices or quick ways to turn ground beef or turkey into a delicious snack?

2. Low carb/no carb snacks - I'm finding in planning my menus that I don't have a lot of extra carbs to spare for snacks. As mentioned above, ground meat is one option. Others I have so far are hard boiled eggs and cheese sticks. But anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks as always!

Tam
