SNACKS
What a great subject at this early stage in our journey to find excitement and adventure on a Low Carb maintenance diet!

The word Boring comes up a lot when speaking to folks struggling to live with the perceived limitations of Atkins and the many other variations of Low Carb.

For some Rats are the answer, for others.. Maybe not!

Well, you can say you heard it here first folks, I HAVE THE ANSWER.. drum roll.. it doesn't have to be a burden or a mystery, you can just change your definition of snack.. GASP!

YES, it's that easy.. thank you.. please no flowers... keep your seats.. no need to stand and applause...blush.. good night.. :)

WHAT ABOUT SNACKS...
you can just change your definition of snack..RATS, or something else a bit different...:)

It's all in your head, and thats where it belongs. We have this notion that something has to be naughty to be good! We perceive anything usually used in a different context and readily available to be blasé, or boring.

I have been skirting, and circling this issue in countless other venues, and here on FR for a long time.. Your mind craves satisfaction, something to change the subject and wake up the senses!

Your senses need a drastic change,. a jump start to wake them up, so they can tell the brain that something is happening to pay attention. You need, SPICE, BURN, FREEZE, CRUNCH, GOOEY, STICKY, SOUR, and yes SWEET!

Dips that are piping HOT as H%LL, frozen, and BITTER lime juice, cheap low carb baked wheat thins, with Habañero, or Jalapeño cheese dip, ..slowly eating only a few of these thingys will satisfy your hunger because they get the glands, and taste buds jumping. Use your imagination.. Strips of cold roast in one of those dips with burn you mouth for a moment and cause you to drink a gallon of ice water.. GOOD!  That'll fill you up! A touch of lemon on the tip of you tongue will pucker you up as well! Get the picture??

Lets see if you can post some of your own ideas!.. waiting.. tapping my fingers... looking at my watch.... whistling..... ZZZZzzz

Carlo...the term is "Sackrat", not "Snackrat"!
