I agree with Karen - this is the first diet I have ever been on where I am not hungry or obsessing about when I can have a treat. Dr Atkins says if you are hungry you should eat food approved on the program. For me that is a little chicken salad.

A warning though. . . I tried those no-carb candy bars, overindulged, and, while I didn't have the gastric distress others have reported, it nearly took me out of ketosis (from deep purple to barely pink) and I found my cravings for sweets returning.

I have now sworn off sugar and flour for good. It isn't worth having cravings rule your life. Give me a nice juicy steak instead - LOL!
