Default macadamia nuts!!!!!!!!!!

I ate about 1/4 cup of these last night and was soooooo excited! it felt like i was cheating or something, but wasn't! i love them.

this or pork rids and cream cheese...best snacks ever! i can't believe i never snacked on this sort of thing before....instead, i used to eat a bowl of mashed potato or a bag of doritos.

Love the macademias! I enjoy pecans as well. My snack foods have also changed quite a bit and I have found I don't really mind at all.

My 2 favorite snacks, macadamia nuts and "whipped" cream cheese and spicy pork rinds. And 1/4 cup of the nuts is a lot. They are so chewy with all that fiber.

I also just discovered those SF Hersey candies. The dark chocolate ones are delicious. I have 2 with the nuts and count it as 2 carbs.

BTW as a professional dieter all my adult life, I can now truthfully say that doing Atkins is the only WOE that I have not been hungry on !!!

Default Not until Atkins

I have never eaten Macadamia nuts until I arrived on the Atkins WOE. They are great and no one in my family will touch them, that's even better. But I was thinking about melting some low carb chocolate on them to make a macadamia bark ain't life grand?!?

Good Luck Everyone,
Black

P.S. I lost another 1/2 lb but I am going to wait until I lose a little more before I shout it to the world.

Hi Chloe Mae, love that name. I can also say this has been the only diet (WOL) that I haven't been hungry on, too. I have been on lots of them.


I am a nut lover, however, macademia nuts are not my fave. I use to like them in cookies, which I will not touch. no way!


Pecan, almonds, filberts, hazel, and walnuts are my faves.

I have to be careful and not have many in the house or I go a little overboard.

Everyone have a great day, for they are all a gift.

Nuts in general are a danger zone for me

But I LOVE macs and peanuts...peanut butter, etc.! But now I realize they are one of those forbidden foods for me as I have been stung by the scale many, many times...

Easy on the nuts from now on...
