okay.. my wanting to do this really isn't there but i promised myself i would for the next 5 weeks.. What i was wondering is... how do you start?

I am on atkins cause of the cheese and i have cheese almost at every meal, i don't know how to cook so my recipes are all just throw cheese in and it will taste good idea.. but i can't have cheese..and natural sugars are kinda out... so i think i am psyching myself out even though the list is long lol... Please help me calm down!! lol and understand i am not going on some version of what is considered atkins "bread and water" lol

Any suggestions on some quick and easy meals on the go? I will have to cut eating out which i do a lot of on atkins, so i am feeling a little intimidated by this KISS... and the strictness of it... and my throw cheese into everything know how lol..

Suggestions of what people are eating etc.. unusual things would help also that you have created lol...

thanks angel

I'm at work right now, but will *definitely* get back to you w/food ideas when I get home this evening........

As for the 'calming down' part - when you see your weight drop, when you see your bloating disappear, when you finally start feeling better... it'll be worth it!!! As I mentioned to you before, this diet isn't *easy*, and it's not a *quick fix*, but it *is* effective. The fact that being w/o cheese is bothering you so much is a sign that it's actually a 'culprit' in your diet. It doesn't have to be gone forever, just for now. Only *you* can decide if the dietary restrictions are worth the effort.

I'll be back later w/food suggestions :yes
