I live about 2 hours from Las Vegas. I was visiting there & was able to convince my diabetic friend who weighs about 300 lbs and her friend who is thin but falls asleep after every meal (uh-oh) to do Atkins. They started today
I'm really happy about this because my friend has high blood pressure and a wound at the bottom of her foot and just avoiding the sugars will help her heal (sugars slow down healing).
Anyhoo, she knew of a LOW CARB CAFE'. Can you believe it? This place was a store and cafe all in one. Even better than that was that they had 4 locations in the Vegas area and also have a total of 10 stores (the other 6, not having cafe's in them). They make (or have them made) low carb bagels and bread that is simply, OUT OF THIS WORLD GUYS!!! I love bagels and could not believe that a full size, tasty bagel only had 2.5 grams of carbs (holy moly!) They are LOADED with fiber
so it helps me stay regular too!
Here is their web address for ordering because I know the sliced bread and the bagels taste great (we think the pizza is great too but didn't get a chance to try it).

We had several of their ice cream shakes at the cafe' over several days and some of their ice cream also - all of it was TERRIFIC
and they even put REAL WHIPPED CREAM on top of the shakes (0 carbs). I was in heaven!!! They said they intend to package the ice cream and shakes soon for *take out* purchasing to keep at home. My friend is lucky to be there near the shops but I had to come home
I was *SHOCKED* that Scottsdale AZ didn't appear to have anything like this when I went searching for it on the web.
I'll be down in Scottsdale for several days and with someone else who is doing Atkins and going to that kind of cafe or restaurant is FUN FUN FUN
What do you have in your neck of the woods?
