I'm with Tracy on this one. More power to those who can substitute artificial sweets for real sweets.
Since being on Atkins, my cravings for sweets are under control. In fact, they're almost non-existent. (Unless, of course, your entire family is indulging on chocolate bars in the car and the aroma of chocolate is wafting through the air. That's when I tried my first Atkins bar).
I read of people who eat them three or more times a week. And some people use them as meal substitutes. I'm in a different category. I don't want to trade my old chocolate habit for a new artficial chocolate habit. And I don't like skipping meals-a candy bar (whether sugary or LC) never fills me up.
I don't think I'll be buying many more of the bars. I do, however, keep Diet Rite around, but I only have one ONCE IN A WHILE, and like Tracy I drink it at night so I can sleep through any sugar cravings it may trigger. And I won't allow myself to have one if I haven't met my water quota for the day.
Congrats, Maryeb on your loss!
