Ann, I too had a problem when I first started Atkin's and the eating of the dreaded lettuce leaves.

But you know....now if I go without them for a week, I am almost like a junkie. I crave salad and it's weird. Never in a thousand years would I have imagined my junkfood eating self would crave and actually eat salads. Ceasar salads sans the croutons please are my favorite, followed with a close second of the regular garden variety.

Before Atkin's I ate maybe 1 salad a year and that was if I was forced to. Now I have them if not once a day at least several times a week. Go figure.

I agree iceberg is horrid for salads. I am surprised rabbits would even touch that tasteless green stuff.
