I don't see how it could possibly be healthy...... too much saturated fat....... besides, how can a person live without chocolate? It just isn't right..........

Chocolate?Miss it on Atkins? You can have chocolate-syrup (on atkins ice cream(3carbs) and TRUFFLES-lots of them..and the atkins cheesecake93carbs)is FABULOUS.Hubby & I on it for three weeks and are getting our original sexy shapes back again.Hubby exercises alot & i work at my little desk-we BOTH are losing weight. The part aboveRE:kidney stones & bone loss has been addressed by atkins in both his books-you HAVE to take vitanutrients with this diet to compensate.
Yesterday, the SUGAR industry met and was SHOCKED to learn that Americans had consumed over 1 million TONS of sugar LESS than in 2001-they blamed increased consumer desire for water drinks vs.soda and the probabilty that many Americans are on ATKINS.(BTW, they love the FARM bill-cause, it does NOT matter if we consume less sugar-they are still guaranteed their price.)
Good FRper day.Lizzie

"how can a person live without chocolate? It just isn't right..."A number of companies (including Russell Stover, Brachs Whitman) make sugar-free chocolate these days for diabetics, made with sweeteners like maltitol that taste as good as sugar but do not affect insulin levels. On a low-carb diet, these chocolates are essentially free.
