There is no doubt that Atkins products are expensive.

I recall when I first began, I went out and bought some Atkins shakes, and some bars and some bake mix, etc, because I thought I needed those things to be successful.

I didn't. I never ate any of them. Try giving the program a chance using regular foodstuffs. I mean, why pay $8 for a loaf of Atkins bread when your actually trying to delete bread from your life as much as possible? I feel the same way about candies and shakes and all the rest.

But that's just my .o2.

Good luck!
