Dinner tonight is chicken breast sliced about 1cm thick, marinated in lime, chilli, salt and pepper. I'm just going to put that on the grill plate to cook. I've made a cheesy mushroom sauce with cayene pepper and chicken stock to flavour, and we're having green veges (bok choy, broccoli, asparagus and zucchini) stir fry/steamed with garlic, seasoning and a little butter.

Is tofu allowed on atkins?
Because if it is, miso soup is brilliant for stomping down an appetite.

Where's Bri? She hasn't posted here in a couple of days. I hope she's still on the atkins wagon with me. hehe

Excellent! I've been having the same problem the last day or so. Maybe we're at that stage where our bodies have just started to realise what we're doing to them. lol

Sugar cravings.
The shirataki noodles help because it take all night to chew them.

If you are jonesing for carbs, then your last meal was too high in carbs and not enough protein or fat.

I decided to fight my sweets craving with sweets...sort of.
I went and bought a box of 'Splenda' today, and I've mixed some into some cream cheese, full cream and 1 chopped strawberry. It's just like strawberry cheesecake. You could make a base by crushing up nuts finely then adding butter, but I decided the strawberry was probably pushing the envelope enough.

Oh, my - that sounds really good!! I can never think of things like that. That is a great idea. I'm writing that down.
