The thing I missed the most while being on Atkins was fruit and being able to eat all the salad I wanted. I could have eaten all the turkey I wanted on it but I'm one of those people who needs her salad every once in a while! I love those big salads at the fast food places now, and I couldn't imagine that being all of my carbs for the day!
Anymore I have reduced my carbs, but at the same time I'm not doing Atkins. I'm trying to reduce my overall food intake which seems to work out better than if I was cutting carbs. It's slower but it will probably last longer!
