Atkins diet blog

I am sure this has been asked before but I couldn’t find the answer so I hope
you don’t mind the repetition. I was looking at their new low carb and sugar
free candies - I picked up the chocolate covered caramels. I haven’t been doing
this all that long but made it through the first two weeks with a 7 pound weight
loss - do miss chocolate still. With the new candies it says 21 g
carbohydrates - do I then subtract out the 20 g. sugar alcohol? I am so
confused about this - esp. when i go to purchase chewing gum. If anyone could
explain this I would be so grateful.
thanks

21lbs and 17″ gone forever after 4 weeks on induction!

Oh MY GOD.
I am on day 3 of induction. How do you deal with cravings? I am not
hungry but I want something–anything. I assume that is cravings of sugar or
carbs. I was able to starve off to one diet coke yesterday and haven’t had one
today yet. What do you guys do for the cravings? Can I munch on carrots,
celery? Something. Can I chew gum? Etccc….. Please I cant believe how bad
I
want something.

smoking Crack cocaine.That isn’t the route I would recommend to anyone. When
I finally beat that addiction, I found that food was an important part of my
recovery. I had forgotten how wonderful a well grilled steak tasted. I had
starved myself for almost a year.
everything…hence the massive weight gain.BUT…I had color in ,my cheeks,
and a sparkle in my eye. then I broke my back…a simple fracture, but it
put me out of action for 3 months…and I had started to swim daly at my
local YMCA…so ….another easy 20 pound gain,and a sense of failure.

Very well said Barbara!

This is a recipe from the splenda book..someone was wanting cookies
for Christmas.
Spice Cookie
6 Tbs shortening
6 Tbs margarine
1 Cup Splenda granular
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 Cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
Mix together shortening, margarine, Splenda, egg and molasses.
Sift flour, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Add to shortening mixture
and stir to form dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill until
firm about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Form dough into 30 balls (1 heaping
tsp each ball). Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet and pat
down gently with a fork, forming a criss-cross pattern.
Bake cookies in center of oven for 10-12 minutes. Do not
overbake. Cookies will look chewy but will become crisp after
cooling.
