Chocolate?Miss it on Atkins? You can have chocolate-syrup (on atkins ice cream(3carbs) and TRUFFLES-lots of them..and the atkins cheesecake93carbs)is FABULOUS.Hubby & I on it for three weeks and are getting our original sexy shapes back again.Hubby exercises alot & i work at my little desk-we BOTH are losing weight. The part aboveRE:kidney stones & bone loss has been addressed by atkins in both his books-you HAVE to take vitanutrients with this diet to compensate.
Yesterday, the SUGAR industry met and was SHOCKED to learn that Americans had consumed over 1 million TONS of sugar LESS than in 2001-they blamed increased consumer desire for water drinks vs.soda and the probabilty that many Americans are on ATKINS.(BTW, they love the FARM bill-cause, it does NOT matter if we consume less sugar-they are still guaranteed their price.)

Good FRper day.Lizzie

Chocolate?Miss it on Atkins?

Also, look for a product called "Carbolite". It uses Splenda as the sweetener, and the MOST carb-y bar is the Chocolate almond bar at 0.37 carb per serving, 7 servings per bar! Milk, Dark, Peanut Butter, Krispy are also available.

I know they are avaialable online (WAY too expensive), and my local Trader Joe's carries them a LOT cheaper than any other store I know!

I am a chocolate snob, and always aye the BEST (Calebeaut, Valrohna, el Rey, and the totally YUMMY Kona Hawaiian chocolate)...this product TASTES GOOD...good enough to use every day!

A lifesaver for all chocoholics!

I think we are starting to see the big-business backlash against the Atkins diet... recall, folks, that the food triangle from the FDA came from the big grain state influence peddling in washington.

the whole "low-fat" house of cards is starting to teeter and there is a LOT of money at stake to keep the status-quo

I find it laughable that this USA Today hit piece against Atkins DOES NOT MENTION ANY DANGER FROM HEART DISEASE OR HIGH COLESTROL, which is of course the "common sense" danger that the average person might ascribe to the Atkins diet...

Is that the WORST problem they can pin on Atkins? That in itself speaks VOLUMES about how far off the mark modern low-fat nutrition is...
