Have any of you long-time veterans on the Atkins plan managed to maintain this WOE/WOL not only without sugar, but without artificial sweeteners at all? Does anybody out there simply drink water, black coffee (no sugar or other sweetener), or just a little bit of milk (3/4 cup) with meals? (I drink milk only with my breakfast, which is otherwise carb-free; it's straight water from then on-I distill my own at home). Am I just dreaming to think I can do this without having something "sweet" to drink or eat?
