Thanks. That's was one of my main 'issues' when I tried Atkins before.

I've heard of people using other fiber products as well. Some sort of husk in water? I guess it's the...ahem...active ingredient in Metamucil.

Since you're never limited on vegetables with South Beach, I didn't have that problem...but I can see why you might for just the first little bit on Atkins.

You're welcome. It actually says in DANDR that you can have a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks or you can use flaxseed meal. I take that to mean a tablespoon or more of flaxseed meal too, if that's your preference. I would personally take as much flaxseed meal as I needed to keep things going. It's very low in carbs, very high in fiber and has all kinds of things that are good for you...those oils that help your cholesterol and such, you know? My last cholesterol check was 210...so, I'm hoping this will help.
