I've been doing a low carb thing since last October with great success. But NOT Atkins! I can't be THAT strict. LOL! I pretty much live on turkey breast, reduced calorie bread, oatmeal, Weight Watchers and Lean Cuisine, Boca Burgers. I'll trade in for other things sometimes. It's livable. I don't think I could stand Atkins. Good luck!!

I dont' necessarily think I'm doin Atkins...not real strict on the rules since I'm not tryin to lose weight, just tone... BUT...there is a great 'burrito' my hubby and I have eaten that I love
It's whole wheat tortillas, either refried beans or black beans, brown rice, salsa, lettuce and ground turkey..OMG..they are amazing
Good Luck!

Have you tried any of the Atkins baking mixes? The brownies and the breads are good. We also eat lots of the pork rinds. The low carb ice cream bars are also very good.

I'm not sure if any of this is OK for Atkins. Sounds good though! Many on WISH are doing South Beach and there are some who are doing Weight Watchers CORE. Both of these seem to be lower carb but also lower fat as well.
