Come on girl, you can do it. You have too many reasons not to. My Rosacea cleared up on Atkins also. I think there may be some of us who are allergic to sugar. Have you tried Breyer's Carb Smart Ice Cream? I like it better than the sugared ice cream. There are some good Atkins web sites where you can find good quick recipes. Eating out is no problem. I ate out last night. Had stuffed Flounder, salad and green beans. Just avoid the potatoes, pasta and bread. Subway has a great Chicken Ranch Wrap. Wendy's has some great salads. We ate breakfast this morning at Golden Corral. I had southwestern eggs (lots of them), bacon and sausage and coffee. I sweeten with Splenda.
TGI Friday's has some yummy Atkins approved selections on their menu, too.
