Don't you ever do "simple"? You know I hate to cook. LOL. Seriously, I've gone on the Atkins with my hubby. His doctor told him to go on it. I think the doctors are coming around. The diet is harder for me because I don't especially like meat. I've always loved carbs. I keep reading and hearing that one never gets hungry on this diet. I beg to differ. I'm so hungry I could eat a wagonload of buttered rolls. A piece of meat does not satisfy my hunger. I was so hungry for something sweet tonight, I got out 4 oz of cream cheese and whipped it with some unsweetened chocolate and coolwhip and added some Splenda. It wasn't great but it helped a little. I'm resolved to stay the course even if I starve to death. I can't let my husband have more will power than I have.
