Yeah.... I like that full feeling from the fats allowed on Atkins. That, and the elimination of the carb cravings by eliminating the blood sugar swings....
The stability of my mental energy and lack of physical hunger pangs are great.
The thing is, I seem to eat for other reasons than hunger. Like when stressed. Sometimes this is called "mood altering" or using food like a drug. I am guilty.
I think I had fallen into a bit of a trap with the pork rinds. 16 Servings - Ha! My wife and I could finish a bag of those cinnamon covered ones on the way home from the low carb store. Taste like cinnamon toast - an old comfort food.... I knew they were not 'free' but I thought - no carbs, AT ALL.... At least this is safer than __________ (whatever else comes to mind).
So... Thanks for setting me straight. I like nuts too, but 1/4 cup is like.... birdfood. Does not register.
So... If in the grips of a huge desire to eat... what can I eat more than 1/4 cup of, that won't blow my diet?
