    I'm in. guess I'll be staying on the Owl rung for the whole month. I had to look in my fridge to make sure the things I eat have no sugar or sweeteners in them. Looks like my south beach diet italian dressing will have to go. Anyone have any good italian dressing alternatives?

      Hello Shari,
      I'm so glad to see you join. Yes, this challenge is going to teach all of us to read food lables very carefully. I'll look to see if I have a italian dressing recipe and get back to you, okay.

            Sorry for the delay, Sherri -- I meant to get here earlier, but work got in the way!

            I'm in, and this is why: Cephalic Insulin Response: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard......php?t=5922.to I'm learning that feeding my sugar cravings with artificial sweetner only intensifies the craving in the long run.

            This is going to be hard for me, but I'm doing it. Thanks for hosting, Sherri.

            Shari, I really like Newman's Own Vinegar and Olive Oil. Very low carb and I'm pretty sure they are no sweetners. I guess I'd better check now, though...!

                  Welcome ladies to this Challenge!
                  I'm looking forward to seeing the many rewards that you will have by not eating sweetners. You will get even more fine tooned with your body, and how it reacts, by not eating sweetners. It certainly woke me up with my own addiction and craving to sweetners, unsweetened or sweetened. The body truly knows no difference when it comes to cravings. Tomorrow marks my 30 days of no sweetners and I can honestly say for the first time in my life that I do not crave sweets.

                          Here's a recipe out of Dana Carpenders cook book-

                          ITALIAN VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
                          1/3 cup vinegar
                          2 cloves garlic, crushed
                          1/2 tsp. oregano
                          1/4 tsp. basil
                          1 or 2 drops tobasco
                          2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
                          Put all the ingrediants in a container with tight fitting lid, and shake well.
                          Yield: 12 servings, each with 1 gram of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and a trace of protein.
