Started Atkins in January and have gone from 243 pounds with 39 inch waist to 210 pounds and 36 inch waist. It has made a believer out of me besides I like the food. My wife also has done well with Atkins. My blood pressure down from 143/90 to 117/74. Have you tried pork rinds?
Yes, I have had pork rinds from time to time during this diet. I like them but I don't keep them around the house because I find that it is difficult to not eat the entire bag. Weird, because I have no problem controlling my portions of other foods on this diet. I guess that pork rinds remind me of chips, and I used to be the classic example of a guy who couldn't eat a chip without finishing the whole bag. Why back in the day, I would think nothing of eating a huge bag of Doritos - as a snack!
I should mention that since starting this thing in April, I have not had a single chip, cookie, pastry, etc. Not a slice of cake nor a slice of pie. I vowed back in April that I would do what I had to do to lose the weight.
Last Sunday at a family party, I was surrounded by platters of desserts, snacks, etc., but I wasn't even tempted. I had my salad with olive oil, some cheese and a couple of pork chops. I have had no problem in this respect. Like you, I like the food in this "normal-carb" diet and it satisfies me.
The pork skins are just about my favorite snack.
