Atkins diet

[Kristine]

I was just wondering if anyone here has done or is doing the Atkins diet.....low carb/high protien. I have been doing it for 6 weeks and have lost 15lbs and about 1 inch in my waist. I also walk 3 times a week.

I was hoping someone would have ideas on how to get through the early cravings

Any ideas would help
Thanks

I don't do Atkins, per se, but cut out processed foods and simple carbs years ago, and really try to limit the number of starchy carbs I eat. Can you have nuts or peanut butter? I have found if I get cravings, a handful of raw whole almonds or tsp of natural peanut butter really helps.

Yes. I can have nuts and usually have a handful on the way home from work so I am not so hungry before dinner.
thanks for the reply
