I am down in Indianapolis, and the bakery is called Bread of Life.

I call that my Sunday morning communion :)

Moi, I will stick to my few loaves of home-baked whole grain breads, my kids love my honey wheat bread. Much more nutritious than any of that stuff at the grocery.

Have you ever made low carb homemake vanilla ice cream? Mmmmmmmmmm. Very easy and better than the high sugar stuff in the stores.

"She's a bit incredulous when customers ask if she produces anything consistent with the Atkins diet. "This one person asked me, 'Can you make a low-carbohydrate bread?' I said, 'I wouldn't know how to do it,'" she said."

Adapt or go broke. Atkins is here to stay because it works.

I froze most of it, maybe it'll taste better when thawed . . .

Trust me, it will only get worse. :)

"It's amazing how many Freepers who won't be fooled by Democrat demagoguery will jump on the bandwagon for this fad diet."

Exactly. And defend it to the death! (Atkins Freeper: "Yeah, but my waistline doesn't lie!" / Freeper In His Right Mind: "You'll make a beautiful corpse.")

Thanks. I have a grinder that I use for cornmeal (for cornbread) and have thought of expanding to wheat as well. I would like to make some wheat bread, but was unsure of how to count the carbs.

Eat bacon & eggs for breakfast, or big fluffy omelettes made with lots of butter, mushrooms, sausage, cheese, and topped with salsa. For dinner? Big, juicy rib-eye steak, big salad with blue-cheese dressing, glass of merlot. Lost 50 pounds in 8 months.

Me too, only it's 45 lbs. But I am getting tired of bacon an eggs for breakfast. So I've slipped back into the bad habit of skipping breakfast and I think that's part of the reason I've hit a plateau. I like the results when following the diet religiously, and some days it's easier to comply than others. I'm just having a really hard time right now stringing together more than a couple of days when I'm able to follow all the restrictions. I've gotta get more than a couple of days of ketosis to lose more weight.

I'm happy others don't feel as challenged by this as I do. I find however, more and more days when the plan feels if not Nazi-like, then at least very restrictive. I don't miss sweets, nor pasta, nor surprisingly, potatoes nearly as much as I thought I would. But, I DO increasingly miss non-soy tasting bread.
