Popcorn's actually lower in carbs than you might think... when I go to the movies, I usually steal a handful or two from a sib's bag.

Oddly, when I'm doing low-carb, I crave salty foods, which I never eat otherwise. Tortilla chips, popcorn, crunchy salty things are worse than sweets.

I've had the salt craving even worse! That's when I scarfed all those olives down and retained a whole bunch of fluid, gained 2 pounds over night! LOL

Popcorn is relatively high in fiber, isn't it? I seem to remember reading that even a few cups don't have all THAT many carbs - at least it would be something OK for later in Atkins. 10 grams, I think?

And with plenty of butter and salt and maybe spices, too...a little goes a long way.

I'm actually starting to crave things like cheese, which is weird for me. After I get paid, I'm gonna splurge on some good Gouda.
