I'm on day 3 of the Atkins diet and it's gotten easier with every passing day (day one was hell!!!) But here's my question, although having the ability to eat all the meat you want is nice, I'm the type who craves sweet things - which is not in abundance on the Atkins!! So, in order to answer the craving, I would slice a medium size pear and eat it with brie (cheese) or I would have a cup of creamy decaf. coffee with heavy whipping cream and Equal for sweetner. Please keep in mind I only have 1 pear a day if at all and the heavy whipping cream has NO carbs, the Equal has less than 1 Carb and the brie has NO carbs. I'm going off the notion that within the first 2 weeks, you are allowed only 20 grams of carbs MAX. I'm I doing okay? I'm trying to stick to the basics at least for the first 2 weeks but I need to answer my sweet tooth! Any advice?!
